Trees and Tent Form Caterpillars
water and nutritional requirements

TIWN10

         Tent forming caterpillars are a natural occurrence and should not be taken as a sign that something is wrong. This is natures way of keeping the healthy trees while removing the un healthy ones. If you wish to control this problem, you must address the root cause and not the effects (caterpillars) in order to solve this problem.

Common Causes

  • High Stress levels

  • High Nitrogen Fertilizers

  • Improper watering methods

  • Low Brix Levels

Controls

Keep water below ground. 
Avoid hitting tree trunk.
