8 year old Madrone dying #640790

First four years it was in a pot. It liked hillside for a few years. This year it’s dropping leaves rapidly and I’ve seen a few white fly like insects. Not many. Some leaves appear chewed (Suspect insects). I may have overwatered it. Cut back irrigation (it liked the irrigation last year though). Really have worked hard to keep this sapling.

Thank you for your questions. We are unable to identify a plant problem, especially insects, without clear photos of the insect. Here is a UC Extension article on this species and various problems it has: http://ipm.ucanr.edu/PMG/GARDEN/PLANTS/madrone.html Your own county Extension office is more familiar with issues in your region, and we suggest you contact them for help: http://cemarin.ucanr.edu/
Good luck!
