I thought I had a picture of our tree and its damage from the past couple of year but could not locate it. Here is a good example from the Iowa State blog. |

Japanese Beetle treatment worked
We have a Little Leafed Linden behind the 16th green near the main road(Marvin Pearson Way). Each season, this tree was attacked by adult Japanese beetles who loved to skeletize its leaves. This season, the tree was treated with a systemic control product(Imidacloprid) to reduce the amount of damage since it is in a high visibility area. As you can see below, the control worked well this season with some slight damage at the very top.
