• American plum borer

  The adult is a light grayish brown moth with reddish brown forewings marked by wavy black and brown vertical bands about two-thirds the distance from the base.

• Plum rust mite

  Plum rust mites (PRM) generally restrict their feeding to new foliage, causing these leaves to brown and roll upward longitudinally

• Peach bark beetle

  Adult's body is brown with many punctures, from which arise yellowish hairs. The larva is a small, legless grub.

• Woolly apple aphid

• Buffalo treehopper

  The pale green adult exhibits a large thorax with two "horns" and a long posterior wedge-shaped body. The cream-colored eggs are laid in a groove on the tree bark, where they overwinter.

• Bacterial spot

  Bacterial spot appears on apricot, peach, nectarine, plum and prune.

  The adult has narrow white forewings with extensive gray-black and brown markings apically wing margins are fringed with long hairs. The larva is whitish and generally concealed within the leaf mine.
