LIQUIDAMBAR INSECT PROBLEMS
Fall webworm webs over portions of large branches or
may completely cover small branches. The insects feed on
leaves inside the nest. If practical, nests can be pruned
out while small and when the insects are inside. A few
nests in large trees are not serious.
Leaf miner causes brown blotches on leaves. If injury is
caused by leaf miner the browned upper and lower leaf
surfaces will be completely separate when the leaf is torn
in two.
Cottony-cushion scale, sweetgum scale, and walnut scale
can infest the branches.
