Long walk today. Truly depressing. Just last week, all seemed okay, even if I could tell there were lots of caterpillars in the trees. Today, there is significant damage in the canopy. Some trees are clearly completely defoliated. I’ve never seen so much light in the understory, and there is a faint caterpillar turd-rain.
And so my questions... how much damage can an otherwise healthy tree take before it is doomed? Will they recover next year? If the caterpillars are ‘this’ dense this year, will next year be a caterpillar-pocalypse?
Ugh!
