    Cherries that grow in my garden, I love not only me. Aphids, moths, weevils ... It feels like
    that everyone who likes to enjoy fruits, I already know "in person". And I know how to fight them. I'll tell you how to get rid of, for example, cherry shoot moth. This gluttonous pest practically destroys the kidneys, flowers, shoots and even cherry leaves. The butterflies themselves are small, brown in color. Caterpillars are half as large, green with a brown head. Eggs moth lays in the cracks of the bark. As soon as buds start to swell in the spring, the caterpillars are selected outside. First they bite into the kidneys,
    then go to the buds, then they are taken for the leaves. And everything, you can forget about cherry jam!
    When they have eaten, they fall to the ground, go to the upper layer of the soil around the trunk, where they pupate. It is important not to miss this moment, to dig up the ground and have a good walk through the rakes. You will not do this, and a month later, butterflies flutter around the cherry, lay eggs in the cracks of the bark, and everything will go in a circle.
    Of course, the entire bark is difficult to handle, but to remove build-ups and lichens does not hurt. And in the spring, before buds swelling, spraying with insecticides helps.
