I noticed the cigar leaf on one of my pups had holes in it this past Spring. Upon further examination I found a nasty caterpillar/worm suspended in water in the center of the cigar leaf after it unfurled a bit. Dug him out with a small twig and crushed him on the pavement. After that no problem. The pup was only about three feet tall at the time. Not sure what to do if the plant was twelve feet tall but now I have a bunch of green frogs inhabiting my banana patch so hopefully they keep the bugs under control.
