The Tennessee Dept of Forestry's infestation division came out to Dale's today and helped the old guy out.
They drilled a hole in the tree and injected it with Bacillus Thuringiensis, or BTK for short.
Dale is still very worried. I talked to him yesterday and he tells me that it was completely denuded the last two years. This tree is very special to him, as it is a graft from a tree used in ancient ceremonies.
He told me that someone he knows has their tree injected with something that prevents the moth, I can't find anything in reference to this anywhere.....
On the fishing, no Dale doesn't fish.
I'll tell him about the flower beds though. Thanks.
My uncle has a lovely Catalpa tree.......and wanted me to ask if there is any form of vaccination for the Catalpa moth. He worries that they will kill his tree.
TIA
