I have 2 apple trees and a 4 in 1. cherry tree. The Japanese beetles decimate my fruit tree's leaves. As of yet they don't seem to mess with my blackberries or blueberries. I set beetle traps as well, but way to many beetles to deal with. I prefer to stay "organic" if I can, so I going to try planting some chives near my trees to see if this will work. If you find something let me know please.
