They have VERY weak mouthparts, and could not possibly damage the bark of even an established annual, let alone a tree! They might JUST be able to eat leaves that had already been damaged, but probably only when the leaves had already started to rot. From "Readers Digest encyclopaedia of garden plants and flowers" " and may cause damage to roots stems and leaves of various plants ". That particular rag has had a reputation for publishing a mixture of pap and nonsense for 50 years; I am glad to see that it is preserving its tradition.
