Japanese beetles are in full feeding mode across Williamson County this month, skeletonizing the leaves of roses, maples, birches, and linden trees.
A few weeks of heavy feeding rarely kills an established tree, but repeated seasons of damage add stress a tree has to recover from, especially alongside Middle Tennessee's summer heat.
Timing matters with treatment, since beetle activity is typically heaviest for a several week window before tapering off later in the summer.
Serving Franklin and Williamson County with seasonal tree health monitoring.
