Arborvitae

Arborvitae trees are classic favorites for easy-care evergreens that act as hedge or privacy screens. Their sturdiness can withstand heavy snow and also provide  a natural windbreak. Arborvitae trees are native to eastern America and are also known as northern white cedars.

Chewed Leaves

Arborvitae chewed leaves are often caused by:

  • Bagworm
  • Deer Browse

Defoliation

Arborvitae defoliation is often caused by:

  • Bagworm
  • Deer Browse

Dieback/Flagging

Arborvitae dieback/flagging is often caused by:

  • Borer (Multiple)
  • Phytophthora Rot

Sawdust/Holes

Small holes in the bark and sawdust coming from said holes are typically the result of wood-boring pests. Bark beetles often leave sawdust in or near the holes the insects have burrowed into/out of and seek out weak trees that are stressed by environmental stress, improper watering, pruning injuries, or other insect attacks.
