Small weevil that feeds on leaves and bark, causing
problems on tough leaved plants such as Rhododendrons, Camellias,
Azaleas and Laurels. Leaf damage similar to that
of the Vine Weevil Beetle
- to which it is related. but, also gnaws at bark, sometimes
'ring-barking' the twig or shoot, causing it's death.
Said to attack conifer varieties as well, but this is
normally confined to bark damage rather than visible signs of leaf
damage.
Brown in colour and little more than 7-8mm long.
Difficult to control, so would suggest Provado for best effect. |
