Types of Borers
The Southeastern United States is home to a variety of borer pests that damage trees and woody plants, affecting both forests and ornamental landscapes. Key offenders include the emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis), which threatens ash trees, and the southern pine beetle (Dendroctonus frontalis), known for targeting pine trees and causing forest health issues. The peachtree borer (Synanthedon exitiosa) damages fruit trees, while the oak twig pruner (Anelaphus villosus) can impact oak trees.
