Idaho Gardening Trees Insects

Plants attacked by mystery pest?

Taylor Abernathy

6 years ago

I have a jackfruit seedling (6inches tall) and a mystery tree seedling (6 inches tall) that were attacked/ chewed/ cut by something. I have a variety of other tree seedling, shrubs, vines, herbs, and succulents in my greenhouse. None of the other plants were affected. The first picture is the jackfruit, the second is the mystery tree.

Can mice and/or squirrels get in?

Looks like rodent damage.

Yes mice and squirrels can get in. That was my initial thought, but I was a little confused that only two of my plants were affected

They're saving the rest of the plants until later.

No kidding, once they find something palatable, they'll be back.

You'll need to protect them in some way.
