Midsummer is when bagworm damage becomes obvious on Central Alabama's evergreens. The small, spindle-shaped bags hanging from cedars, junipers, and arborvitae look like pinecones at first, which is why many homeowners miss them until a tree has already turned brown in patches.
Each bag holds a caterpillar feeding on needles from the inside out. Because evergreens do not push a fresh flush of new growth the way deciduous trees do, heavy bagworm damage can leave permanent bare spots rather than a full recovery. Catching an infestation early, while bags are still small and scattered, gives treatment the best chance of saving the tree.
ACE Tree Service provides plant health care and integrated pest management for cedars, junipers, arborvitae, and other evergreens across Birmingham, Hoover, Vestavia, Homewood, Trussville, and the surrounding Central Alabama area.
