My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

chewed leaves on Bougainvilleas

18 years ago

Some of my barbara kost bougainvilleas have had all of their leaves chewed off. New shoots are coming, but slowly. How do I know what is chewing them? Could it be looper caterpillars or leaf cutting bees? Should I do anything?
