Seem to also be targeting stems on an adjacent bay laurel. Seems to target both old growth portion of stem and new growth indiscriminantly - is there ANYTHING that could be added to the soil to eliminate them? Have yet to actually see one on the 'outside' of the stem or even see any larvae when I cut the stems off and cut them open to inspect - just very small black bugs themselves. I am afraid i am going to completely lose a 10 year old hydrangea. Seems like the more stems I cut, the more they attack other stems at this point.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2012891747188380656.post-17960928498619926322012-05-26T16:32:08.544-07:002012-05-26T16:32:08.544-07:00I just discovered this borer in my own garden.

My husband & I purchased a hundred yr old farmhouse with an acre of property, so there was already a well established Hydrangea there, and now they both have what appears to be the "black twig borer" you described. Were you able to get rid of it? Do you have anymore tips?
