Red gall mites (eriophyid mites) cause cosmetic damage but rarely threaten tree health. Yellowing/browning leaves with premature drop suggest additional stress. Anthracnose (fungal leaf spot) may be present.
Apply Bayer Advanced Tree & Shrub Insect Control (imidacloprid) as soil drench in spring after leaf-out. Rate: 1 oz per inch trunk diameter mixed in water, poured around base. Roots translocate to foliage, killing sap-feeding insects. Lasts full season. Cost-effective vs. professional injection.
If needed, apply Banner Maxx (propiconazole) to new leaves in spring. Reapply after rain. However, leaf spots on mature lindens are often cosmetic; treatment may not be warranted.
Apply 10-10-10 fertilizer at 1 lb per inch trunk diameter in spring. Scatter under canopy, water in. Improves overall health and flowering.
Lindens produce both flowers and fruit. If fruit present, flowers occurred. Fertilization above will enhance future flowering.
City ash injections won't affect your linden. Different insect, different treatment.
