Answered for Greenfield, Hancock County.
Every spring on the wild cherry that seeds itself into Indiana fence lines. In Greenfield, greenfield was not one of the 23 communities in the Indiana DNR street tree sample, so there is no published species breakdown — the honest picture is a two-tier canopy: mature shade trees dating to the historic district's roughly 1880-1947 build-out over those streets and Riley Park, versus small suburban stock in the newer additions. Statewide, Indiana street tree populations run about 18% silver maple and 34% maple overall; Callery pear is common in 1990s-2000s plantings and as of 2026 is still legal to sell in Indiana, with the amendment that would add it to the Terrestrial Plant Rule pending since 2021 — re-check IDNR before advising a customer. Cosmetic on an established tree.

Silk tents in branch forks in spring, with caterpillars massed inside.
Cosmetic on an established tree. The tents look far worse than the damage is, and the tree refoliates.
Remove tents by hand in early morning while the caterpillars are inside. Do not burn them out — people set trees alight doing this every year.
