I continue to see more spider mites on shrubs this week. Above is a photo of spider mite damage on the Boxwood shrub. Notice that in this close up the mites are far to small to see without a 10 x lens. The leaves get more of a yellowish speckled look on the Boxwood. While the Photinia leaf seems to take on a bronze colored look when attacked by spider mites. See the Jan 31st post for more spider mite information.
The purpose of JT Landscape blog is to provide lawn and landscape observations in and around San Antonio that may be helpful in maintaining a beautiful landscape. The posts below may be insect or disease problems that have been recently noted in the area or advice pertinent to lawn care practices needed in a particular season.
