Caterpillars attacked my Willow tree last week. One caterpillar took up residence on each branch and chewed all of the leaves at the tip, then spun a cocoon and turned in to a moth. I was worried about the damage they were doing but they were gone in a week and each chewed branch started to sprout new shoots.
This tree has tripled in size. Now that the caterpillars nibbled on it I hope it will fill out. I am really happy with how fast it is growing. Too bad it has to hibernate this winter. I need more green.
