What is the correlation between Schomburgkia and ants. I have read somewhere (can't remember where) that there is some benefit to the plant???? The ants nest in the hollow of Psbs.
I ask this since I am in the process of preparing for the BOS Show coming up next year. I have removed a plant of Schm. thomsoniana from my tree and potted it up with the hope that it will bloom in time for the Show. It is teeming with ants. Should I use an insecticide to rid the ants? I certainly cannot take it to the show covered with ants
