Woops...oh well

 

[Waldo]

yup. Is this an unusual form for you east coasters?

 

[JD3000]

Yeah pretty upright and dense. Cultivar you think? Most of the columnar and upright ones I've seen are narrower

 

[Waldo]

No, that's just kinda normal for the young ones out here

That weeping beech that the people are around?

 

[JD3000]

Weeping katsura?

 

[oldoakman]

Hell JD, could you read the tag or what?

 

[JD3000]

Beech would have been my first guess.
Not such a great distance away but interesting symptoms

 

[oldoakman]

Looks like a Japanese beetle buffet.

 

[JD3000]

Indeed it is. On a tree that I didnt know was a major host but J beetles are at their worst in 10 years.

An unrelated pest causes similiar looking damage from a distance to this tree.

 

[JD3000]

Other unrelated pest is quite fond of Magnoliaceae but this tree is in a different family.

Hovenia dulcis?

 

[JD3000]

Try an Ohio/midwest/southern Canada native
