Bugs rampant in Tucson Eucalyptus Trees.

Bugs are rampant in our Eucalyptus Trees in Tucson. I have seen them for some time, white dots on the leaves of our Eucalyptus Trees. Those white dots are actually the secretions of the bug as it is sucking the nutrition from the leaf.

Basicaly this bug is a form of tree lice known as Lerp Psyllis. Having run through California it is now are turn. Even though not all types of Eucalyptus trees are effected, most are. The result of these bugs is limb death or tree death causing the need for removal. Look for them to fully spread through Tucson Eucalyptus Trees be the reason many die and or need renovations due to limb death.

What can we do?

Well, like the Pine Beatles (read our blog) , not much.Irrigation of the Eucalyptus Tree is needed as nutrition is being sucked out, also a mild fertilizer may help.

So, water you Eucalyptus Tree in Tucson to help it not kill of limbs or even worse die.

This is very sad news. We have a beautiful large Eucalyptus in front of our house (the kind whose leaves look something like long needles). It's 17 years old and over 25' tall. I thought the deep freeze had affected it, hoped it would come back, but it is very brown. Is there anything that can be done to save our tree? Will it help to cut it back? And, just how much money are we looking at having to pay to deal with this problem? Will it spread to our silver dollar?

Such sad news. Eucalyptus trees are among the most beautiful trees. They are gift from God because they are used in many herbal, medicinal and domestic benefits. Sometimes it can be hard to control disease problems on these trees.
