Is aphids a problem in Indiana?

Answered for Sheridan, Hamilton County.

Common on Indiana maple and linden in mid-summer. In Sheridan, community Park is singled out in the town's comprehensive plan for its numerous old-growth trees, and the pre-1970 residential grid around it carries matching full-size shade trees. New subdivisions plant only from the UDO's approved street-tree list — columnar Norway and hedge maples, black gum, disease-resistant Asian elm hybrids, European and American hornbeam, male "Autumn Gold" ginkgo and golden rain tree — a list that pointedly contains no ash and no Callery pear. Rarely a health problem for a mature tree.

Sheridan's canopy and what's at risk

Community Park is singled out in the town's comprehensive plan for its numerous old-growth trees, and the pre-1970 residential grid around it carries matching full-size shade trees.

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.
