Peach Bark Beetle
A Region's Black Cherry
Resource Under Siege
Peach Bark Beetle Workshop
The Peach Bark Beetle has been recognized as a pest in commercial fruit
orchards since the mid-1800s. The
potential to degrade healthy black cherry
trees as a result of overwintering galleries was first reported in 1964. Infestation
levels were fairly light until the 1990s
when foresters and forest owners started
observing extensive gumming due to the
boring beetle. Given black cherry’s status
as one of the most valuable commercial
species in the region, it is critical that
forest resource managers better understand and are prepared to deal with the
current outbreak.
