Galls on Linden Tree #759614

Asked July 02, 2021, 8:58 AM EDT

I have galls on my Linden. Should I use a systemic to stop the spread (garden center recommended) or call a tree company? The tree is large so I can't spray it myself. Any way to prevent galls in the future? Thxs

Something is chewing on a hosts, and some irises. I have always kept broken filbert shell around them and have had very good results. But this year, I’m thinking it’s something besides snails. Are earwigs a pest that chews up leaves?

beech blight aphids #754357

Asked June 06, 2021, 5:57 PM EDT

Hi, I have a 25' tall tri-color beech tree that has become infested by what I think are beech blight aphids. They are small and white, and seem to be on the underside of the leaves and form a sticky substance. I have already tried spraying the tree with a pyrethrin solution as well as a mix of diluted castille soap/vegetable oil. It is a bit tricky to do since this is such a large tree. I have been using a hose-end sprayer. Does my assessment sound correct to you, and is there anything else I should be doing to help control the aphids? also, is there any preventative treatment I can do in the early spring before the leaves come out to prevent the same thing happening again next year? thanks for any advice!

American Oil Beetle #733368

Asked November 06, 2020, 12:01 PM EST

Hi, I have found 8-10 of these recently. I am still trying to determine if they came in some boxes my sister had out in John Day and Depoe Bay or if they are thriving on my rural property in Clackamas county. I did some research, but I am unable to determine what level of concern I should have and what action I should take. Can someone provide some regional advice? Thanks! Cindy
