   Maybe OT: Apple Tree Damage   
   26 Jul 20 19:18:19   
   
   From: pintiha@jhmi.edu   
      
   I was going to get the morning papers the other day when I noticed that the   
   apple tree in the corner of the yard looked strange; it was fuzzy on one side   
   but had full leaves on the other. When I got closer, I saw that on the "fuzzy"   
   side, the leaves had    
   been eaten away except for the main vein that runs up from the branch through   
   the center of the leave. It hadn't been like that the morning before so either   
   a flock of locusts came through during the day or night and ate the leaves. No   
   sight of any bugs    
   around or on the tree.    
      
   The "fuzzy" area was 6-10 feet above the ground. None of the other trees had   
   been damaged and there was no damage on the normal, fully-leaved side of the   
   tree. Any ideas as to what might have caused this?
