Follow-up to https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/243159124
I need to take more photos and break the twig more cleanly, but this is what I have so far. Since we now have an RG "Zapatella herberti" I am posting these.
Most of the "twigs" in reach that seemed similar to JKehoe's observation had healthy twigs with leaves branching out from them, but I found one that had only a total of five leaves attached to its several branches.
There seemed to be a lot of types of insect damage to this one tree's branches, while the adjacent tree and the one across the path were much healthier.
