I have a medium size cotton wood tree in my yard. The last couple of storms I've had some limbs come down due to grubs making them weak. Should I cut the whole tree down ?
They seem to be eating in the limbs and not the trunk, but don't Know for sure. One limb came down and broke a smaller pine tree in half. Another came down and broke a limb out of my hickory tree. It Is by power lines and when the tree service for the power company trimmed it they didn't trim the limbs flush with the trunk. I think that may be what invited the grubs.
