Japanese Beetles Are Skeletonizing Leaves on Ornamentals Across Metro Atlanta

Post Copy

Lacy, see-through leaves this time of year? That's not a disease, that's Japanese beetles.

They feed in clusters and skeletonize leaf tissue fast, and young or stressed trees can lose real canopy before the beetles move on. Our plant health care team can tell you if it's cosmetic or something to treat now.
