I just posted about my Bald Cypress that has bagworms, but my other two trees are having even bigger issues. (I just don't like either of them, so...) Anyway, the one in front of my house hardly has any leaves at all and the ones it has have brown spots and look 'crumpled'. Any thoughts on what that might be and if I might be able to save it? It's the only tree in the neighborhood that looks like that that I know of. It's embarrassing! The one in the back also has brown spots, isn't as 'crumpled', but has leaves pretty much all over (though not very thick, but I don't think it was thick last year either). Last year the leaves weren't spotted (as far as I can remember), but it did grow a huge bulge that split the bark off of it at the bottom near the ground. I half expected it would die or fall over by now, but it's growing and standing upright... The only reason I don't like these two trees is because they seem to be attractive to wasps and I HATE wasps. However, they don't nest in there, just fly around it somehow. I do not know what kind of trees they are. Also, this might make a difference: All of my (3) trees are young (3-4 years old), but there is a HUGE tree on the other side of my back yard (behind the back fence) with full leaves that the birds and wasps like (again the wasps only buzz around it, but the birds nest in it) and it's leaves are crumpled and ugly. So I wonder if it's something my trees got from that one? I know it's vague, but if you have any ideas I'd greatly appreciate it, because if I can get away with not having to replace them, I'd prefer that due to the cost of replacement, but if it's better to get rid of them, how do I go about doing that and what would I plant instead? I also have bushes out front that don't seem to have any issues. They're beautiful and green (tiny). Thanks in advance!
