New paper! If trees are closely related, does it matter where they are from to plant-eating insects? We raised >950 Promethea moth caterpillars on 14 Prunus species to answer that question. Turns out, it matters a lot! Non-native trees = Lower performance

All grass lawns and invasive landscaping plants are out for 2025. Creating habitat for wildlife using native plants is in! Even small yards can make a difference when it comes to supporting native insects and birds.

more boneset tips 💚 🌱 #nativeplants
I keep remembering more boneset tips because they are the plant I have had a lot of for the longest time, lol. So:

Late boneset can thrive in almost any light but you will want some where it will get autumn sun because the pollinators FLIP OUT when it's in the sun. It is extremely noticeable.

Stiff-leaved Goldenrod lending a sepia-like tone to the garden this week. Delicate #winter interest.
