Power rake it if you can MPM. Rent the attachment for tractor

That’s what the holes are. Probably winter moths
-
Only fert with nitrogen will get rid of it

Caterpillars
-
For the folks that didn’t drop the second round of Lesco recently , red thread is running wild in lawns , from the wet, warm , humid spring the last couple months. Very noticeable during my run this morning and the wet grass.
-
Nice hands
-
Was the yard just weeds? Looks like the previous owners didn’t care about anything
-
Dropped Lesco round 2 Sunday eve. Everyone’s got some red thread in SNE with wet spring . This will take care of that .

Nice. On trees or the house?
-
Couple things here . Can anyone maybe @tamarack verify this is that caterpillar that wipes out forests. These things are Everywhere. If you’re in a phone ..zoom in on it. It’s not a gypsy . They are very squiggly when they move. I’m def gonna lose this Oak. This is year three and it’s already worse than last 2. I was trimming hedges and saw this and ran . Yes I know gartner..Hate snakes
-
Nah. We have those too. Actually this spring I have not seen their tents in the same small trees they’ve been in the last few years. There’s no blue markings on these and tents have blue. They didn’t do much to the Oaks the last 2 years. This is a new type I’ve never seen before . They are super squiggly when they move and crawl fast . Much faster than gypsies or tents .
-
In all seriousness.. can any of the horticulturists identify this cat? In addition to gypsies these are everywhere. They are crushing every white Oak in the neighborhood. Every yard already has trees that look like this and it’s way early . Any idea what kind this is?
-
I think I answered my own suspicion. I just zoomed in from standing underneath the tree and you can see all the new leaves already chewed and the holes and the dead stuff. If you are on your phone.. zoom in. This is the earliest they’ve hit. This is year 3, so it appears they’ve gotten the trees . Also see the blown down leaves with all the holes .

@tamarack Here’s those 2 Oaks. You think it’s Gypsy kill? They only leafed out like this , this week or so
-
Here’s a pic Scooter texted from his yard in South Weymouth today. I have some less leaves than this and will post later.
-
I def have some Oaks that are slowly dying from the gypsy damage the last 3 years. They’re eating again this year as the leaves coming down in wind already have holes eaten in them. But there are some white Oaks that have like very sparse leaves. Like no rhyme or reason to how they leafed out. I’ll get a picture this evening for you . I think maybe it has something to do with the wet last year or so
-
I have the same issue. It’s specifically the white Oaks. I am chalking it up to gypsy damage from the past few years here, but perhaps it’s something else. Post a picture for him as I am not home .

It’s been above normal the last few months

Azaleas

First cut of season is the deepest.

Looks great man. Grab a cold one and stare at it
-
Looks great . Grab a beer and cheap up in outdoor shower!
-
Yeah I think that’s the main issue, but it does get some , and it’s only in the last year that this has happened
