Okay, a quick search is suggesting that Midwest and East Coast USA is most vulnerable. If you haven’t heard of these things before and you’re not in that area then I reckon you’re all good.
The dangers of those suckers is that they have the potential to get in to the main root, killing that local tissue, which in turn brings down the whole plant. (unless maybe emergency-grafted I guess?)
Are you going to take any protections against squash borers? IIRC, wrapping duct tape around the stems can help with that.
I don’t think I’ve ever encountered a squash borer or heard of this before. Maybe it’s a regional thing?
