TRUST UTAH TREE DOCTOR TO PROTECT YOUR TREE FROM OAK WEBWORMS
What Is The Cause Of My Tree's Illness?
Oak webworms are web spinning caterpillars.
Dangers of Oak Webworms
Established trees can withstand losing a considerable amount of foliage, and most injuries done to the tree by webworms is cosmetic. There is no risk of the webworms or their nests damaging or killing the branches, so the tree should have no problem producing new foliage come springtime. Young trees, however, could suffer complete defoliation if the infestation is allowed to continue.
How A Basic Diagnoses Is Made
The webbed nests start to form in late summer when the webworms hatch and will grow in size as the webworms search for more leaves. After about six weeks, the worms leave the tree to cocoon elsewhere. While you may notice the webs on an oak tree, webworms can infest any deciduous tree, from oak trees to fruit trees.
What Are the Options for Treating My Ash Trees?
Emerald ash borers are not native to North America, so ash trees have little natural resistance to this pest. Fortunately, there are a variety of insecticide treatment options available and research has shown that treatments can be effective.
