Hi all -

We live in eastern Mass and have some relatively young trees that are definitely sick, if not dead.

I guess first thing is to identify what type of tree, thus I'm hoping pics will suffice.

The leaves are just simply curling up, turning brown, and dying. We have a few which are near each other, (2 are growing together at the base, the other is separate.)

They are severely eaten by insect, but I was able to take a picture of some new leaves that didn't get eaten (also pic of eaten leaf).

Could insects kill the tree?

Any insight much appreciated. I can answer more questions if anybody directs me...

Thanks!

Brad in MA
