Pest Alert!

Last year’s drought and mild winter brought about a population explosion of a beetle which we recently had identified as the Flat-Headed Apple Tree Borer. These borers are of the insect family Buprestidae, and the genus Chrysobothris. They have a bronze metallic underside, and their wings (elytra) on top are a gray to black color. When they spread their wings to fly, they reveal a bright, metallic green color on the top of their back (abdomen). The drought of 2011 caused tremendous problems for trees, and various fungi and insects are responding to drought-stressed trees.
