Small, cone-shaped bags hanging on your arborvitae, junipers, or cedars this week are a sign of bagworm activity. Early July is when they become visible after feeding through the spring inside protective cases built from the host plant's own foliage.
Bagworms are easy to overlook at first glance. By the time whole branches turn brown, the infestation has usually been established for a while, and evergreens do not recover lost foliage the way deciduous trees do.
Evergreen privacy screens and hedges are common throughout Franklin, Brentwood, and Nolensville landscaping, and a heavy infestation left unaddressed through a full season can leave permanent bare patches.
