Hi Gang,
If you have the same probelm we have in MA, it's NOT the cold. Remember last December all the "Months" around your lights at night? Well, that's when they lay their eggs. They started hatching their young early. If the trees are "Oak," and especially the Apple and Fruit Trees, it's their young devouring them. Look around for pieces of the leaves on the ground and very small "little black chips," (it looks like someone spilled pepper) that's the worm Poop! All along Route 3 North, notice the trees that look like they are not sprouting leaves. They already did sprout and those worms (Very small green worms) are destroying them. I haven't seen them in my pard in Moultonboro, but in MA, they are everywhere! (Another reason NOT to bring fire wood into NH, from other states, as they may carry the eggs on them).
