No Germination> Powdery Mildew> Collar-Rot> Moss> Ants> Slugs and Snails> Caterpillars or Grubs> Cutworms> Grasshoppers> Aphids> Birds> - POSSUMS - Cats> Uneven Growth> Weeds> I am not sure but things do not look right>
The top leaves of my seedlings are missing ...... Possums love eating young leaves mmmmm.
Do I look Hungry?
Look what I can do to a tree
Solution:-
Possums – areas that are visited by these little creatures should beware, possums love the juicy leaves of seedlings. If you have possums in the area, you may need to cover your seedlings with wire mesh – ensure it is sturdy as they can be very persistent.
If you have any other problems, or have any questions about propagating you seedlings, please contact your area coordinator. Remember – be vigilant!
