Shikuwasa

This is the first year I actually got fruit. There are not too many, so will probably make juice or use them for cooking. This tree is constantly being attacked by Citrus Bark Beetles and has significant damage. I have been battling them and thought I had them licked 2-3 weeks ago, but found two adults this week alone. More importantly is to kill the larva in the soil around the roots or inside the trunk. They are the most destructive. I have a special chemical with a tube that goes into the ground and can reach inside the trunk were the larva bury. I cannot see any new damage, but the adult beetles continue to show up. What a pain.
