Apple borers #874944

Asked June 27, 2024, 11:25 AM EDT

I lost one apple tree last year to these borers. Now I see their awful holes in all my trees. How do I eradicate them and save my orchard? Help, please!!

Expert Response

Can you provide some idea of how large the holes in your photos are? Do you see chewed up bits of wood coming out of the holes (frass)? And are most of the holes near the base of the tree?
