Like a said this hazel tree isn't that big but it's full of the b*****d from bottom to top. Just looked at some images. Says they'll eat any green leafs. So this area will be f****d if not rid of the c**ts. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnipper 7,144 Posted April 13, 2025 Report Share Posted April 13, 2025 I'd never really noticed alder beetles until a couple of years ago when we had a plague of them on the alder hedges on one of our sites. I've seen a few since but nothing like that first year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
