In a lather: What were those sudsy bubbles I saw on trees last week?
“Basically, it’s suds,” Pearce said.
“It happens more often with trees that have deep channels in the bark,” Pearce said. These include oak, tulip poplar and hickory. Bubbles oozed down a tree during a rainstorm in Silver Spring, Md., as a result of “stemflow mixing.” : “The immature bugs feed face down on the stem, and as excess sap is excreted out the anus, it is mixed with a substance secreted by epidermal glands that enhances surface viscosity and stabilizes the foam to make it last longer.”
