I was looking at the lowest leaves on some of my MOAs, the ones that touch the mulch, to see that they were being nibbled by various insects. The upper leaves were untouched. My first instinct was to remove these particular leaves, the ones being nibbled upon. (I think Cayennemist removes all leaves that make contact with the soil) But, then I thought I would leave them for the offending bugs, as a way of diverting their attention from the upper leaves and flowers. These lowest leaves produce no flowers anyway, and they don't ever seem to be completely eaten. Theoretically, these bugs might stay where there is an easy supply of foliage to snack on, leaving all else alone. Any merit to this?
