Loose webbing appearing on pecan and persimmon branches across North Metro Atlanta right now is likely fall webworm, a common late-summer pest in Georgia. The nests look worse than they usually are.
Fall webworms feed on leaves inside their silk webbing, which can strip branches bare by the time they finish. A healthy, established tree typically recovers without lasting harm, but young trees or trees already under stress from heat and dry soil can be set back further.
ATL Tree Work's certified arborists can inspect the extent of an infestation, remove heavily webbed branches, and advise on whether treatment is worthwhile. We won't recommend spraying or removal when a tree can simply outgrow it on its own.
If you're seeing webbing on trees around Duluth, Alpharetta, or Snellville, an inspection can tell you quickly whether it's cosmetic or something to address.
