Dear Shelly, sorry if I do not answer you before but I was in a field campaign with limited access to internet connection. . As I understood the tree is alive, so I suggest you to treat it prevently before put in the Museum. You can use pyretro or pyretroids (organic solution) or Spirotetramat (5%), or Deltametrina (about 2.5%).

I would be cautious when investigating methods of treatment, as typical treatment methods would likely result in damage (leaf or bloom drop) or potentially even death of the tree. Additionally, the heavy application of insecticide might cause significant visual alterations (such as leaf scorching) that may not fit the artist's vision. I think this needs to be more closely discussed with the artist, and possibly an arborist. If the tree needs to stay alive and unaltered, a hyper-sensitive monitoring program in the exhibition spaces for the exhibit's duration may be your best course of action.
