BRUCE WILLIAMS Extension Area Turf Specialist Dear Plant Doctor: I have a sycamore tree and it produces large, beautiful, green leaves. However, as the summer wears on, it bccomcs infested with small, shite caterpil lars that cat the leaves and turn them brown. By August, the tree looks horrible and completely infested. Some nurser ies in the area claim the cause may be the soil which aids the attraction and that the problem is common for these trees. I've williams tried fertilizers, lime and also at tempted to use a caterpillar spray, which was not successful. The tree is situated in an open area with lots of sun light. Could you please advise the cause and what corrective measures can be done to eliminate this problem or to reduce the infestation? Answer: I checked with several reference sources and could not find a small, white caterpillar insect pest that attacked only sycamores. The sycamore laccbug will causc the THE PLANT DOCTOR symptoms you dcscribcd bul the in scct is very small and docs not look anything like a caterpillar. Trees arc similar to people when it comcs to susceptibility to insect, disease and nutritional problems. Trees grown from seed are all ge netically different. Therefore, it is not uncommon to have trees grow ing sidc-by-sidc with one tree that is very susceptible to one particular disease or insect problem while the other tree is completely resistant. I know of no soil or nutritional problem that would cause you to have an insect problem. Unfortunately, trees are very dif ficult to treat for insect problems. Except in very unusual cases, treat ing trees with insecticides is almost always impractical. Large tree size, excessive insecticide drift and high application costs make correcting a severe tree insect infestation very difficult. A healthy well-cared for tree will be able to tolerate occasional insect or disease problems. However, chronic infestations will eventually weaken or kill the tree. Please send me some leaf sam ples and some of those caterpillars this summer. I would like to see whal is eating on your tree. Dear Plant Doctor: I have just moved to the area and would like your opinion on a lawn practice. One of my neighbors insists that I should bum off my centipede grass lawn before it greens up this spring. Another neighbor says that burning off the grass will do more harm than good. What is your opinion? Answer: Do not burn. Burning is a dangerous practice. Ask any fire man about the accidental fires that have been set off from burning lawns or yard trash. Centipede grass has an above ground stem called a stolon. If you burn off your centipede grass lawn, then you take a real risk of injuring the stolon and damaging your lawn. Burning will do nothing to control the thatch. Some folks claim that a burncd off lawn will grecn-up more rapidly than one not burned. I expect that may be true to some extent, but ear ly green-up docs nothing for the healthy cultivation of beautiful turf grass. Keep your centipede grass lawn beautiful using recommended cul tural practices and stay away from burning. Send your gardening questions to The Plant Doctor. P.O. Box 109, Bolivia.
