    Does the tree have 'sacks of web' holding the white caterpillars? Can you get a picture of the worm.
    The only thing I can think of is webworm....which is the caterpillar of the Webworm Moth.

    Hi Tony, I saw nothing in the tree. The worm i disposed of.. Should have taken a photo. The worm was very small yellowish white..I am still working with the tree, hopefully i won't see anything.
    Thanks for the response.
    SandyJ.
