Hi guys,
I wrote before about the big leaves on my Chinese Elm. I planned on repotting my tree a few weeks ago but haven't got to it yet. I notice my tree has been losing leaves with quite a few dead /yellow leaves on it now.
The tree was a gift and came with organic soil which is extremely hard and has small roots coming out of the top. I used a screwdriver and was able to loosen the soil a week after I got the tree which really helped.
To get to the point: I was looking at the trunk, where it enters the soil, and noticed 4-5 small bugs that looked like fleas almost. Any ideas what these are and if they are hurting my tree? I see no bugs anywhere else on the trunk , branches or leaves.
Any help would be appreciated- Thanks
