How do I know if my tree has bagworms?
Small spindle-shaped bags hanging from branches, made of the tree's own needles. Often mistaken for cones. It attacks arborvitae, spruce, juniper, cedar. occasionally deciduous trees.
What it does to the tree
An evergreen stripped by bagworms usually does not regrow those needles — arborvitae and spruce don't refoliate bare wood. Catching them early is the difference between a treatment and a replacement.
