Peony Borers?

Post by lazygardner »

I dug up a peony that was getting crowded out by a scotch pine and noticed that the roots appeared malformed. They looked just like Iris tubers that had been attacked by borers. In fact the peony was in a bed that it shared with some Iris that had borers in the past. Do you think the Iris borers attacked my peonies?
