Aspen Leaf Spots and Honeydew: Aphid Infestation

Diagnosis

Brown spots, curling leaves, sticky sap on 14-year-old aspens in Oregon = aphid infestation. Aphids feed on leaf undersides, causing curl and spots; honeydew drips below.

Systemic Treatment for Large Trees

Apply Bayer Advanced Tree & Shrub Insect Control (imidacloprid) as soil drench. Roots translocate to 3–4 story canopy—kills aphids feeding on leaves. Takes 2–3 weeks to reach top.

Product: Bayer Advanced Insect Control

Why Not Spray?

Mature aspens too tall for effective coverage. Soil drench is the only practical method. Honeydew stops; sooty mold weathers off; tree recovers.
