Re: Problem- Vera needs help!

When I read that Vera was having a pest problem with her arborvitae, before  
looking at the photos, I was thinking that it could possibly be bagworms, 
which  are a common pest of arborvitae.  Have you seen any of these "bags" on your 
 shrubs?

But, now that  I've seen the photos, it does look somewhat like the work of a 
caterpillar, but  the tent caterpillar problems I had appeared on fruit trees 
and a sugar maple in  my yard.  It didn't appear on any of my arborvitae.
 
Sorry I can't be of more help.

Hi  Gang,

While Vera and I were out and about yesterday, she was telling me  about a
problem with her arborvitae (sp?). She sent over some pictures  today, and I
am not sure what decided to call it home. Reminds me of the  nests I see in
the fall, but not this time of year...  so?!?

Any questions, Vera would be glad  to answer! <lol>
