My Hollywood Juniper has been infested with some kind of cocoons growing all over it ~ hundreds of them & they are hatching out!!! Could you please identify this problem & what can I do to manage this problem.
The poor thing is suffering & seems to be dying. I about ready to chop it down. I have another Hollywood Juniper nearby & it is not affected at all.

It sounds like your plant is infested with bagworms. Check out this publication for details on this pest: http://www.aces.edu/pubs/docs/A/ANR-0191/index2.tmpl
Call if you have further questions.

Right on target ~ Chopped the infested tree down & burned as it was too much to hand pick and too costly to treat, hopefully keeping my other tress from getting infested. Thank You ~ Very Informative info.
