Are you worried about Cicadas?

DrPulte_Moderator | Posted in Southeast Gardening on February 24, 2024 05:13pm

Brood XIX, or the Great Southern Brood, is the largest periodical cicada brood, stretching across the southeastern United States – and they are coming this year. I am seeing a lot of people online worried about their garden plants. From what I understand billions of cicadas are set to appear in a rare ‘double brood emergence’ this year.

Cicadas can have a damaging impact on trees when they lay their eggs.

Are you worried?
