Japanese Beetles Attack Cherry tree


Call in Flamie Mamie for help.













Maybe Wonder woman





















































































































Japanese Beetle, a destructive insect that attacks the foliage,
blossoms, roots, and fruit of plants. It was introduced into
New Jersey about 1916, later spreading over many states east
of the Mississippi. It is a serious pest in the United States,
but is no problem in its native Japan because natural enemies
keep its numbers in check

Japanese beetles (Popillia japonica) are a devastating
invasive pest in urban landscapes. Japanese beetles
have no natural enemies in the United States and
are able to reproduce rapidly in home landscapes.
They readily feed on a wide variety of landscape
plants and in large numbers can easily defoliate mature
cherry trees.

How can I protect my cherry tree from Japanese beetles......


Iam waiting for any Ideas.

If you don't want to use an insecticide, you can try beetle traps or hand picking.

Maybe in health stores they keep some organic solution or spray to protect the tree from the japanese beetles.

Good Luck with getting rid of them!

There's a new imported beetle attacking one of the tree species here, just can't remember which one.

Elm trees were devastated some years ago.

I hate those beetles. They have been eating all my white roses. Once I spray them, more come. It seems there is no keeping up with their destruction. If you find an answer, let us know!
