From: pat romaniszak City: darien, IL
we have a large tree that has lost its bark for most of the tree and under the bark area are like lines that go along with the branches it looks like some kind of insect is chewing it. im not sure how to identify it and if we need to remove the tree and if it will spread to the other trees

Greetings Pat: You require the on-site assistance and professional assessment from a certified arborist or a professional forester. Please visit the Illinois Arborist Association Website for a local certified arborist: http://www.illinoisarborist.org/CertifiedArboristsNew.htm Best of luck!
