		<description><![CDATA[ These sap-sucking insects often feed in clusters under leaves and on new succulent shoots. Aphids feed on sap vessels in plants. Once a sap vessel is punctured, the sap, which is under high pressure, is forced into the aphid's food canal, causing the aphid to leak a sticky fluid.  This fluid is known as honeydew.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If recent storms damaged trees or shrubs in your yard, you may need to provide "first aid" promptly.  The earlier you care for injured plants, the better chance they have of recovering, advises Ross Penhallegon, horticulturist with the Oregon State University Extension Service.

		<description><![CDATA[Winter Spruce Aphids: Active Now!  The Spruce aphid is often called a “winter aphid”, as they begin hatching in October, and feed well into March. We often do not notice that damage until May or June when foliage begins to dry out and die, and there is a sooty mold over all the rest of the tree. If the damage continues over a few years, the tree may die. These winter aphids are found on Sitka spruce and most ornamental spruces grown in Oregon and Washington.

		<description><![CDATA[Symptoms appear as though the damage is drought related or as if there are nutritional deficiencies, with chlorosis or stippling visible on the upper surface of the leaf. Sometimes the damage is miss-diagnosed as mite damage.  In severe infestations, the leaves become almost white, with severe leaf drop.  The underside of the leaf will show the adults, their cast skins, nymphs and excrement, which is a shinny black substance.

		<description><![CDATA[Watch your trees for recent changes. Decay will weaken the integrity of the wood, causing failure in wind, ice or snow conditions. 
 If a crack is not harboring decay, a simple cable or two in the branches can solve the problem. 
Not all leaning trees are hazardous.]]></description>
