The native dogwood is the
favorite Towering tree of many
Washingtonians and deservedly
so. It grows throughout the
area, has neat habits, produces
an excellent show of bloom in
the early spring. OftentimeS the
tips of the twigs carry a rich
display of fruits in the early
fall although they are the
favored food of some birds and
the fall color display is usually
rather brief.
The dogwood is Singularly
free from troubles If given
reasonable care and is kept In
good growth. Once it suffers In
jury-drought. lack of food and
moisture. mechanical injury,
sun Scald, ETC.. 1t soon falls
victim to the dogwood borers
(flat-headed apple borer, etc.
These pests seldom miss a
weakened dogwood. The eggs
which are laid on the trunk
in the summer, hatch In the
spring and the larvae crawl
along the trunk or large
branch looking for a suitable
place to bore in. This habit is
the one the gardener should
take into consideration in plan
ming control measures.

The easiest Of the control
measures is to coat the trunk

Weakened Dogwoods
Are Under Attack

and larger limbs with DDT or
dieldrin about the middle of
May and once a month then
for the remainder of the sum-
mer, or about September /. The
larvae crawling about come into
contact with these materials
and are killed. DDT, which is
not soluble in water, is long
lasting and gives the best pro-
lection, but dieldrin maybe
toxic to more kinds of borers.
OF course. most gardeners do
not think of borer injury until
they observe dead twigs, weak
ened branches on one side of
the tree, or patches of dis
colored bark. All are signs of
borer injury. At that stage the
gardener should get out his
sharp knife and after locating
the point of entry, which may
be any place from the ground
up to the point where the limbs
and trunk are less than an
inch In diameter, dig out the
larvae. Some Of the larvae may
be only 34-inch In length
others are longer. When re-
moved, the wound should be
smoothed by trimming and
then painted with a protective
tree dressing.
Feeding. watering, when
needed, and a thick mulch are
helpful in restoring the Hgor
Of the tree trunk and the
larger branches should be kept
coated with the DDT OF
dieldrin to prevent further at
tacks.
SawduSt Gives Clue
The above applies primarily
to the flat-headed apple borer
which leaves its tunnels filled
with frass and thus is not
easily killed with a fumigant
such as carbon tetrachloride.
There are a number of borers,
however, which leave little piles
of telltale sawdust below the
point OF entry. Their tunnels
are open and a squirt Of carbon
tetrachloride into the entry will
usually kill them thus avoiding
