Oh, yes this year i got them on Jaboticaba trees. I dont see them making major harm but i water them more strongly and ants that transport them. They will go away in some time.

Big Red and little Scarlet are growing so well! Maybe a blessing in disguise that squirrel murdered little red. Scarlet really is a fast grower relative to the Red (which is all I have to compare it to). Both have put on a lot of new growth, but Scarlet has 1’ shoots from this season. Given the amazing growth, I decided to get a little bold with pruning to clear out the bottoms. A little turned into a little more, but i still don’t think this counted as a hard prune. And, I still think I need to take more, but I’ll wait until this winter and next year.
Despite the drought year, they have been staying moist in their part shade spots. Weekly when I water the blueberries with ammonium sulfate/citric acid, I water them if they are getting dry. I just add citric acid to bring down the pH. Maybe the dregs of the ammonium sulfate in the watering can are helping.
“Big” Red opened up a little
What I took off:
Yellow are the 2 other minor trunks I think I should remove at the next pruning. There’s also a mess of cross branches up top, but not touching that this year.
Scarlet
What I removed
For as great as scarlets growth is. I don’t see any roots near the drainage holes.
