QuestionI have just planted two corkscrew willows next to my deck with the intention to create privacy from my neighbors windows. Will I have a pest problem sitting on my deck because of these trees and if so, is there a spray or treatment I can use to prevent this? I am located in Nashville, TN. Thanks, Lesa
AnswerGenerally there will not be many problems. I do not recomend spraying pesticides unless there is a problem so the only prevention is to keep the tree health by fertilizing and watering and watch and IF a problem shows up treat it then. Here is a web link that discribes corkscrew willow and lists some of it potental pests.
