Yes, this coming season I hope the lime and apple trees will flower. It seems like it takes some time for the smaller trees to start producing a consistent harvest. The stick bug is so unique I don't mind if it eats the tree and I doubt it will do much harm at all. I would rather see things flourishing. There are fewer insects now and I noticed hardly any were on the car windshield on my recent trip as opposed to what I have seen in the past.

I think due to the excessive use of chemicals in agriculture poor insects being wiped out of our planet! So sad!
