I have a tree which appears very healthy -- good crop of leaves, no stippling, no scales, no yellowing, no leaves dropping -- but the bark continues to suffer splits and die on the tree, and I have found several new bark damage areas which, when peeled back, send dozens of tiny gray bugs scurrying for cover. They're so small, I cannot even tell what shape they are.
I'm afraid if I don't get this treated quickly, its will kill my tree. I don't know whether to spray or treat systemically, nor do I know whether or not the "pests" are cleaning up the dead bark, or causing it.
The tree is a Red Oak, 14" multi-trunk 20' tall
I would appreciate a quick response.
