Oh no. I don't think I have thrips, but I'll read up on those and check. In the meantime, I will top off all affected stems and hope to get healthy suckering from below. If the plants are gone already, then I will yank them.
Everything else looks fantastic. I'm just following a routine maintenance of Neem and Daconil.
Thanks Marsha- you have always been so helpful to me
