Paul's Scarlett Hawthorn has not flowered and has now lost its leaves. Never looked particularly healthy. In good soil but a bit exposed to wind. I notice the bark has peeled exposing the centre of the trunk- maybe due to damage.

My two year old variegated poplar has been totally destroyed this year by puss moth caterpillars.what little foliage is left is all burnt by the acid they secrete.How do I get rid of them,I'm not a fan of pesticides,and are they likely to return every year?I had planned on planting more of the same,but am now wary as it would be a waste of time and money if they are going to be destroyed every year by these caterpillars.Would appreciate any advice you would have?
