Identifying the Culprit Damaging Your Tree
Unsettling webs in trees, leaves with bite marks, or branches in distress are certainly not the ideal features for your picturesque fall landscape. If you notice anything unusual on your tree, it’s crucial to determine the issue promptly. Here are common symptoms of fall tree pests (insects) to be aware of:
“Spider” Webs on Tree Branch Ends:
- Possible Culprit: Fall webworms.
- Symptoms: Webs on the tips of tree branches.
Silky “Webs” in Trees, Chewed Leaves, Leaf Loss, and Branch Death:
- Possible Culprit: Bagworms.
- Symptoms: Silky webs, chewed leaves, varying degrees of leaf loss, and lack of regrowth on evergreens.
Browning Leaves with Crunchy Edges and Itchy Red Spots:
- Possible Culprit: Biting oak mite.

If you observe any of these signs, it’s advisable to consult with tree care professionals or arborists. They can accurately identify the issue and recommend an appropriate treatment plan to preserve the health of your trees and maintain the beauty of your fall landscape.
