Howdy TPDDL fans and Happy #WhatWednesday.  We get a ton of email, many asking for help. Some do send good information and photos. And often there is duplication in the inquiries. I have gotten our Plant Disease Diagnostician, Sheila McBride, to answer one of those inquiries that we received and share the photos that people send to us. This week's topic has been accompanied with statements like "it looks like someone TP my tree" or "why is halloween decorations up so early?".  So WHAT is that cobwebby thing on the trunk of my tree? The answer to these questions is BARK LICE.
