“Over the next week, you will notice a layer of protective tulle wrapped around some of our young trees in HOA common areas.  This is to prevent “flagging,” which is the dead branch damage caused after female cicadas create slits to lay eggs in woody branches between 1/4″ and 1/2″ diameter.  Once Cicada season ends, these protective coverings will be promptly removed.  Thank you for your understanding as we try to reduce the loss of our newly planted trees.

This video from the Cicada Crew at University of Maryland shows how you can protect any small trees in your yard.  https://youtu.be/X4vjivdnfMM?si=evtpQYYSHZAhhFP3
