Spotted lanternfly nymphs are actively feeding on trees across Baltimore County and York County this month, targeting maples, black walnut, willow, and tree of heaven among other species.
Feeding produces a sticky honeydew residue that leads to sooty mold buildup on leaves and branches, gradually reducing a tree's ability to photosynthesize when left unmanaged through the season.
Healthy, established trees typically tolerate a season of pressure better than young or already stressed trees, which makes early identification valuable.
