Lacy, see-through leaves on your linden, birch, or Japanese maple this week? Japanese beetles are in peak activity right now across Baltimore County and York County, and they can strip a small or young tree's canopy fast when populations are heavy.
A light infestation on a mature, healthy tree usually isn't cause for alarm. But repeated seasons of heavy feeding reduce a tree's ability to photosynthesize and store energy, and that stress adds up over time, particularly on younger or already-stressed trees.
We assess the whole tree before recommending any treatment: species, extent of canopy damage, and overall health, so the response matches the actual risk instead of a one-size-fits-all approach.
