I've been busy this summer, and yes, I have not looked at this tree in a
while.
I noticed it this morning, because some vine had grown up in it and were
blooming on top.
Then I took a closer look.
OMG!!!

This "tree" is kinda bushy, and all of the leaves on the lower part are
GONE!
just green twigs left.

The upper part is sparsely leafed, with obvious bite marks in the remaining
leaves.

What do I do? Is there any hope?

Kathleen, got any of those starters left from freecycle?

ACK!!

I suspect they are tent caterpillars. The Bt will kill them, but I
just open the bags, the worms come out and birds or paper wasps do
their work.
