UTAH TREE DOCTOR CAN HELP YOU WITH YOUR HONEY LOCUS BORER PROBLEM
What Is The Cause Of My Tree's Illness?
Metallic or longhorned beetles that spend larval stages tunneling under the bark.
The Damage Done by the Honey Locust Borer
The honey locus borer attacks large and small honey locust trees, as well as branches more than 2 inches in diameter. Trees under stress are more susceptible. The larvae bore into the trunks or branches causing sap to ooze at the site. Once exposed to air, this sap hardens into a mass of gum. Repeated infestations gradually cause decline and dieback of twigs and branches in the crown.
How A Basic Diagnoses Is Made
Adults are 1/2 inch elongated beetles, with a metallic, greenish-black abdomen with a distinct yellowish- white band on the sides. Adults emerge in June and feed on honey locust foliage. Females lay eggs that are covered with a frothy substance that hardens.
