  • The Yolo Gardener a Quarterly Publication by the U.C
    THE YOLO GARDENER A QUARTERLY PUBLICATION BY THE U.C. YOLO COUNTY MASTER GARDENERS Winter 2008 What is Eating my Privet? Patt Tauzer Pavao, Yolo County Master Gardener rivets are one of those plants that no one seems to be able to kill, and until this summer, that included even me. In fact, tiny privet offspring continually pop up all over my yard, and I continually yank them out. The few that have escaped my watchful eye grow prolifically,P and others that have come up along the back fence have grown into a hardy hedge that does a good job of blocking the neighbors from view. Imagine my surprise when I walked out into the yard last June and discovered that all of the new growth on one privet, the one near the playhouse, had been stripped from the branches. And, on top of that, the edges of at least 50% of the older leaves were jagged and gouged, showing definite signs that they had been nibbled on by something. But what? And what was I to do about it? With my magnifier in hand, I began to inspect the leaves for Photo by Kate Pavao some clue. I was looking for some small insect, or maybe even a Late Night Sleuthing caterpillar of some kind. But I found only a single garden spider, one dragonfly, and two tiny grasshopper-like insects that I thought might be leaf-hoppers, or even the dreaded glassy winged sharpshooter. I captured both of them and took them, and a few of the damaged leaves, to the Master Gardener office for a more accurate identification.
