Thanks for sharing that research. We live in Hawaii where the monarchs do not migrate. The most common milkweed here is the tropical milkweed so at the end of the growing season I always cut it back within a couple inches of the plant base and destroy the top growth which can be infected with the OE. Would it be better to leave the top growth after all?
