INTRODUCTION

This publication has been prepared to assist forest managers and homeownersin identifying pests of southern trees. The insects and diseasesdiscussed are the more common ones attacking forest and ornamentaltrees. Prompt identification and treatment of these pests may mean thedifference between losing or saving a valuable shade tree. Underlying allsuccessful forest and ornamental pest control efforts, however, is thenecessity to keep trees in a healthy, vigorous condition.

We have attempted to include pictures of the damage as well as picturesof the damage-causing organism or stage. Chemical suppression recommendationsare not included in this publication. For pesticide informationcontact the local State or Federal extension specialist, forester,entomologist, or pathologist.
