I have a pyrcantha tree that seems to be in serious trouble. I believe it
was bagworms but I never saw them, only the cocoons. I was away a good part
of the summer however.

At this point in the year, I know that chemicals are not useful against
bagworms, but I"m wondering what/if I should cut down. I've already hacked
away at alot of it. Also have some dying azaleas in the yard.

It appears that I need someone to look at the tree, etc. who knows what
they're doing. I was told that people at NCCU might help. Does anyone know
how/who to get in touch with there? Or other recommendations?

Thanks.
