He also offers consultation, edible & medicinal mushrooms, residential landscape design, workshops, woodswalks, & more. Tune in at 91.3 FM or stream online @ www.wioxradio.org to learn more about mushrooms from John.
WHAT’S GOING ON IN THE FOREST?
There is a lot of fruit out there this year. Black cherry trees are loaded; so are apple, peach, pear, serviceberry, and mulberry. My apple trees are receiving quite a bit of caterpillar damage; they chew their leaves pretty badly. You can spray an organic pesticide on them – Baciullus thuringiensis, or Bt. It can be found at some of your local garden stores. It’s the same stuff maple producers use to kill forest tent caterpillar and it will kill all caterpillars. In any case, get ready for some fruit.
May the forest be with you,
