10/31/2023 0 Comments Maple tree seedlings in lawn![]() I am thinking about drastic measures like killing the tree but I don’t want to get in trouble. What can I do? I understand that I can cut the limbs and roots that come over into my yard but that wont do a whole lot for the bugs. The bugs are also doing the same thing to the last of my blackberries. Eventually I picked what fruit was left and let them ripen on the counter top but at a big loss. Besides even if they did die there are thousands more to take their place. The bugs would just move to the top of the peach where I couldn’t spray well. ![]() I sprayed the peaches with Sevin and it didn’t do a thing. When I check my peaches there are literally dozens of bugs on a single peach feeding like stink bugs. The tree is loaded with seeds and is infested with box elder bugs, could it have something to do with all of the extra water? Usually the bugs are not a problem but this year they have destroyed my peach crop as well as my blackberries. It has bee a struggle to keep this part of the lawn watered it only takes watering this area every other day with the sprinkler set for 120 minutes, no joke! My pawpaws in this trees root zone have never grown so much and I think they have been under watered for years. Their house and patio block the roots of the tree so there is nowhere for them to go but into my yard. ![]() I hate to admit it but I haven’t even met the new neighbors yet…įirst problem, the old neighbor let a seedling silver maple grow up a few inches from the fence line, it is now easily over a foot diameter and 40 ft tall. I have a bit of a problem with my neighbors tree, the worst part is that my old neighbor that moved out was ready to cut the tree down, if I had known the problems it would cause I would have been more persuasive.
