    Hi GoBotany Team. In regards to the spicebush issue in Lincoln, MA. I didn't observe any sawdust and I didn't think to look for feeding damage to the leaves-- there weren't many leaves to look at though. I'm happy to supply more specific info if needed. I'd also love to know if I should contact anyone else about this issue in case it is a problem we can help (or contain).

    Answer

    AWilkins, thanks for your observations. I will mention your experience with Lindera benzoin to some other botanists and see if others have noticed a similar pattern. Best wishes.
