Jill and Donna---

On further investigation of the affected leaves--I found out that there is a kind of weevil doing the
curling up of the leaves. It is no more than 1/8th" big, and is tear-drop shaped. Seems hard-boddied.
It seems to have legs and antennas. on a "microscopic" scale.
It does move--as when I unfurled the curled up edge of the leaf--it exposed a colony of sorts--
of these black weevils/bugs and also a lot of micro-white--thread like--??? eggs?--young ones??..

The black weevils started crawling on my arm--as they had previously crawled on the paper towel
in my pictures I posted earlier. Will not post them again! The time it takes for pictures to upload right now--
I DO NOT want to deal with it!!!
As the leaf-edges get curled up--they also turn red and very brittle. Kind of when something gets a "Mosaic Virus".

I do not really care about this tree stump any more! I could have it cut down--but I would feel very sorry
for all the birds that have counted on the holes in the stems and trunks as ideal nesting places.
Still--I am curious what all this is about. None of my neighbors, that have this same tree--and just as old--seem to show
this problem./ I walked around and looked.

I could spay it all with Neem? It is a very small tree by now. I have to spray my Hemlocks any way--
now that I have trimmed them to the nubs...They seem to, forever, have issues with the Wooly Adalgae scale.

AHHHHHHHHHH....After the Swap! I will have more time....I am SOOO overwhelmed at this time!

Here is a picture of the "colony" in an unfurled leaf. The macro did not do too macro.
Maybe I just do not yet know how to use it right. If you squint--you can get the idea.....
1--The Bug Nest. Sorry--but it is fuzzy!
2--Re-posting the close-up of the leaf-tips....
