Will gypsy moths eat hydrangeas

Gypsy moths primarily feed on the leaves of certain hardwood trees, such as oaks, maples, and birches. While they may occasionally nibble on other plants, including ornamental shrubs, they do not typically target hydrangeas as a primary food source. However, if food is scarce, they might damage hydrangeas, but this is unlikely to be significant. Overall, hydrangeas are not a favored host for gypsy moth larvae.
