We are in Toronto, Canada. This still gorgeous and well loved Japanese Willow tree has holes in the leaves, but also in bark and wood.

What is going on? Is there a remedy for this ?

Thanks

    Sorry, I don't understand why I cannot attach a picture. Tried several times. Not working.

    Click on the landscape icon and follow the instructions. If your picture doesn’t appear it may be too large … reduce the size to around 1MB … that usually does the trick. 🤞

    I am posting this for a friend who initially told me it is a Japanese Willow tree but now confessed she is not sure about its name...still concerned about how to deal with the issue. In the meantime I notice that the tree next to this tree, an elder tree, also seems to have similar problems with the bark

    Might this be of any use?  I don't think we have such beetles in UK or Ireland (yet...)
