Harry's Walking Stick

Harry's Walking Stick

Question from Shoot User

I had LOTS of Japanese Beetles devour theleaves of my Harry's Walking Stick last year. This spring a few leaves have appeared BUT most of the plant is bare. The wood feels brittle and is easily broken. Should a prune back the dead areas or just leave it alone in the hope that perhaps next year more leaves will appear?

    You'll have to start cutting and see where you run into green wood, then try fertilizing with a lawn type fertilizer, don't fertilize after the end of July and see if that will make a difference.

      Pruning back the dead areas of your Harry's Walking Stick is a good idea. This will help promote new growth and improve the plant's health. Be cautious and only prune the dead portions to avoid damaging healthy parts. With proper care, the plant may recover and produce more leaves next year.
