Posted on 4/25/13 at 11:06 am
Posted on 4/25/13 at 11:06 am
anyone tips with them? going to plant 5 or 6 this weekend from pots that are already about 6' tall. i have picked worms my whole life off grandparents trees. But about to get my own, have heard i may need to take worms off another tree and put on mine to get started, is this true? any help is appreciated
*UPDATE TODAY*
so i planted 6 trees the weekend after this post, havent done anything to them at all since, notice
a some leaves all ate up today and went out there and looked.. and all 6 are LOADED DOWN! To say im pumped is an understatement! Been in the ground 2 months and already bringing the goods!!

Do you mean Catalpa trees?

Not seen worms in 20 years and there are trees all around. Good luck.

It must be. Moms got three big trees in her yard and a few small ones. Never had a worm in 39 years that I know of.

Agreed. Fire ants are the #1 problem.

I had big problems with those bastards or something similar eating my damn garden last year. I'd come home to find a stripped plant and a mound of caterpillar shite.

that won't work. what you have to do is break some branches off of the one that has worms and put branch with worms in your tree.
I look all the time and hardly ever see a tree with worms.
Does anybody know what they turn into, what butterfly or moth?

we haven't had them in 15 years or better and we used to be overrun with em. i have no clue what happened.
we tried to take em to my great pow pow's and get them started, but they never took.

I actually think I deal more with cutworms, but I'm no entomologist.

Likely tomato hornworms. They can devour a plant in a day.

That's the bastards! They're so hard to spot, too. You almost need to find their shite pile or find it on a half-eaten plant. I launch them bitches onto the highway.

I am pretty sure Catalpa worms only eat the leaves of Catalpa trees. If something is eating in your garden it is something else. like you said, cutworms.

I can see why the fire ants could wipe out the worms, but we don't have fire ants up here and I haven't seen any catalpa worms up here in over 20 years, either. Wonder what's killin them off?
