Common on Indiana maple and linden in mid-summer. In Fishers, fishers was not one of the 23 communities in Indiana DNR's street-tree sample inventory, so no verified species breakdown exists for the city. What is documented is that the Tree Board maintains a list of desirable and undesirable species and no species off that list may be planted as a street tree without special permission — the practical picture being a 1990s-2000s nursery palette in tight uniform age classes, with ash gone since EAB was confirmed in Indiana in 2004. Rarely a health problem for a mature tree.
Fishers's canopy and what's at risk
Fishers was not one of the 23 communities in Indiana DNR's street-tree sample inventory, so no verified species breakdown exists for the city.

What to look for
Sticky honeydew on everything under the tree, curled leaves, ants running up the trunk, sooty mould following.
Whether the tree can be saved
Rarely a health problem for a mature tree. It's a nuisance problem — the honeydew is what makes people call.
Timing in Hamilton County
Usually resolves on its own as predators build up. Treatment is for the mess, not the tree.
