I don't have any help for you and hope they don't migrate here
to Medford. Please keep us advised (except for a Norway maple
tearing up our front sidewalk we like to seen eaten or gone 8-(.

BTW Might you have a gandmother originally from PEI that married
a movie projectonists and settled here in Medford Hillside about
70 years ago?

Ciao, OldAck.

They're in Medford, for sure. They're all over the state.

No, why do you ask? I wonder how long these hideous things are in
a larval stage? :-(

Especially in my yard! :-( I will have to use the oil and sticky
stuff this fall and hope that helps. Here I was just looking at
the trees when they leafed out and thinking we had perfect shade
cover. Now, all the trees look ratty. I haven't even had the
heart to look at our two apple trees after I read that article.
From the window, the look bad. I also haven't investigated the
oaks.

The only good thing I can say is that the most of my Japanese
maples don't look as bad as the other ones. I have to find some
screening to put over my little seedlings though.
