Whatever did this did a complete job. Hollowed out the whole interior. Looks kind of like slugs but I've never seen them hollow out like this.

Look for that caterpillar. If it is hornworm caterpillar, it will eat a whole branch in one day.

Wow! Were new in Ky and don't really know what to look for yet. I'll take a good look. Thanks again!

cut worms. You will find them at nighttime with a flashlight on the plants. During the day they are down in the soil. they are brown, btw.
