What are Bagworms?

October 10, 2025
Bagworms are insects that eat many types of trees and shrubs, but they cause the most damage to evergreens like juniper, arborvitae, spruce, and pine. The first sign of trouble is usually brown or dying needles at the ends of branches. This happens when young bagworms start feeding. If there are a lot of them. they can strip the plant of all its leaves or needles. which can stress or even kill the plant. Even a small number of bagworms can make the plant look unhealthy and slow down its growth. Evergreens are hit the hardest. because once their needles fall off. they don't grow back like some other plants do.

Tree and Shrub Planting

February 3, 2025
How to Plant: Dig a hole wide enough for the root ball and as deep as the plant container. If the soil needs improvement, mix in compost or potting soil. Fill the hole about one-third of the way with this mixture. Gently remove the plant from its container and place it into the hole. If the plant sits too low, add more soil mixture beneath it to adjust the height. The top of the plant’s soil should be about 2 inches above the surrounding ground level. Backfill the hole with compost or potting soil. When removing the plant from its container, handle it carefully to avoid damaging the root ball. For plants with delicate root systems, lay the container on its side and gently pull it away from the root ball.  After planting, immediately saturate the root ball with a root stimulator mixture, following the product’s instructions. Water thoroughly to ensure the solution reaches the root ball.
