Is spotted lanternfly a problem in Indiana?
Answered for Whitestown, Boone County.
Confirmed in Indiana and spreading, though not yet the everyday problem it is further east. Worth reporting a sighting to the state rather than just treating it. In Whitestown, young, planted, and legally curated rather than inherited. Whitestown's UDO Approved Plant List leans heavily on oaks and maples — white, swamp white, bur, shingle, chinkapin, Shumard, northern red and pin oak alongside red, sugar, black and Freeman maple — with sycamore and London planetree for large-scale sites, so most removals here are storm damage, construction conflict and HOA-driven work rather than failing 70-year-old giants. Ash is explicitly off the planting list for emerald ash borer and Callery pear is on the town's own Prohibited Plant List. Damages rather than kills most trees, but the honeydew and mould make a yard unusable.
Whitestown's canopy and what's at risk
Young, planted, and legally curated rather than inherited. Whitestown's UDO Approved Plant List leans heavily on oaks and maples — white, swamp white, bur, shingle, chinkapin, Shumard, northern red and pin oak alongside red, sugar, black and Freeman maple — with sycamore and London planetree for large-scale sites, so most removals here are storm damage, construction conflict and HOA-driven work rather than failing 70-year-old giants. Ash is explicitly off the planting list for emerald ash borer and Callery pear is on the town's own Prohibited Plant List.
What to look for
Grey egg masses that look like smeared mud, sticky honeydew and black sooty mould underneath the tree.
Whether the tree can be saved
Damages rather than kills most trees, but the honeydew and mould make a yard unusable.
Timing in Boone County
Scrape egg masses in winter; treat nymphs in spring.
