Question From: s. lay - MARYLAND
Q: I have a kousa dogwood tree and someone told me that a certain kind of wasp lays its eggs inside the red berries. Is there any truth to this--and if so could you give me more information on whether there is an attraction for wasps to these berries and or the tree?
A:
Flowering dogwoods do not attract wasps Sherry. They are very popular with homeowners and such an attraction would make them very unpopular. Happy Yardening, Nancy
