Mild to Severe
When dogwood Calligrapha feeds on buttonbush, it primarily chews plant tissues of the leaves. The herbivorous activity causes the foliage to exhibit holes and ragged edges, which can reduce the plant's photosynthetic capacity. Over time, this may lead to decreased vigor and potentially affect the overall health of the plant.
