I wonder what my local council will say when I talk to them about Chippenham's trees as I suspect they haven't got the resources to collect the leaves.<br /><br />I could collect the leaves in my immediate neighbourhood (5 trees), but bonfires are discouraged and I suspect infected trees close by will quickly reinfect my local trees.<br /><br />I wonder how long the larval form can last for if I made leafmould out of the infected leaves...VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355728004231211515.post-42572625664863800732009-08-08T19:25:23.713+01:002009-08-08T19:25:23.713+01:00I've also seen something about a garlic based ...I've also seen something about a garlic based treatment or suchlike. Must look it up and do an update post, especially as it looks like we have a tree round the corner with both leaf miner <i>and</i> canker.<br /><br />Schoolchildren in Bristol are getting involved in a research project on leaf miner too.VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355728004231211515.post-1465986842048695742009-08-08T08:55:19.822+01:002009-08-08T08:55:19.822+01:00I can't remember what I said, but apparently t...I can't remember what I said, but apparently the latest Kew position is that the miners won't be killed by cold while they are in larval form or whatever, but that people need to collect up all the leaf litter, as much of it as they can, and burn it. This gets rid of the intermediate generation as much as possible. Time-consuming, but apparently it does work - Kew's horse chestnuts look relatively better than some I've seen outside the walls.emmathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03914805260939907394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355728004231211515.post-60689584600820062602009-08-07T22:36:28.123+01:002009-08-07T22:36:28.123+01:00I was thinking of him the other day when I was ins...I was thinking of him the other day when I was inspecting the horse chestnut trees for signs of leaf miner damage. I seem to remember you commented last year that he reckoned we needed a good hard winter to get rid of the blighters. Well, it looks like we need more than one of them :(VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.com
