I planted a sand cherry bush in front of the chimney chase on the sunny side of the house. It looks so pretty with its purple leaves and bunches of pink flowers in early spring. It's flanked by a series of burning bushes that turn a brilliant red in the fall.
I looked out the window the other afternoon and couldn't believe my eyes.
It was completely covered in purple leaves the last time I saw it.
Those TENT WORMS- hundreds of the devoured my beautiful bush, in only a day!
I killed them all.
There's hope. In just a few days out shot new leaves.
Hopefully it will fully recover and look like this sample photo.

Oh, I'm sooo glad it is putting on new leaves already! Glad you kilt all them pesky tent worms too!!
Sand cherry shrubs are pretty tough - glad yours survived...you may have to spray again in case another generation managed to sneek a few explorers pass you.
I hate bugs. My problem is ants. They are taking over my life. I am going to let my chickens out to eat them.
Ugh, stupid bugs. Caterpillars have been horrible to us in the past. They move fast here and are so difficult to find & kill!
Hope your sand cherry recovers quickly. Love the color of those leaves!
