Almost all of the leaves on my October Glory maples have holes in them. The holes are irregular: some small, some round, some large, some ragged etc. The margins of some of the holes look brown. I only saw one bug on the tree, and it was pretty big and bright green with what looked like long attenae. It was crawling up the tree so fast I couldn't catch it! I wasn't too alarmed at first, but then I noticed what looked like a one inch wet spot on the trunk of one of the trees. I thought it was just a leaf that was decaying and had somehow stuck to the trunk. When I brushed it away I found a perfectly round tiny hole, and then I found another further up the trunk. I think I'm dealing with some problems here (New York)!
The trees are only about 3 caliper and were just planted last September. I can't find any information on what could be causing the holes in the leaves or the trunk and what to apply. Please help!
