Planted a young amelanchier canadensis (sp?) at weekend, it had finished flowering and the tiny berries are starting to form, loads of new pinky leaves etc. 3 days later and its covered in ants - also lots of leaf damage. Are the two things connected? I didn't think ants ate leaves? its been in a pot in the back garden for 2 weeks no problem, now as soon as we plant it out its being eaten. As its a young tree I am worried its going to be irreparably damaged very quickly. Any ideas - do ants eat leaves?
