I have these Aspen trees in my yard that seem to be diseased. Can you send someone to check them out and tell me how to help them. I had a tree specialist come last summer when the trees started doing this and he accused me of hacking them up with a knife. I will attach a photo or two.

The trees have aspen twig gall and looks like some physical damage to the trees. Aspens are thin barked trees so they are very susceptible to bark damage. We need you to call the office is you would like a house call. We do charge for that service. 244-1836
