TILIA INSECT PROBLEMS
Aphids can be controlled with sprays of a number of
properly labeled pesticides.
Several caterpillars feed on linden. Have the insect
identified then apply the appropriate chemical. Bacillus
thuringiensis will not be effective against sawfly larvae.
Fall webworm nests can be pruned out when still small.
Lace bugs cause discoloration of the leaves. The insects
are found on the undersides of the leaves.
Spider mites cause leaves to become stippled and yellowed.
