• Phony peach disease

  The canopy of infected trees is flattened and compacted due to shortening of the internodes; the foliage tends to be a darker green. Infected trees may also flower and set fruit earlier, bear smaller fruit, and may suffer a substantial reduction in yield.

• Root-lesion nematode

  Root-lesion nematodes are microscopic, migratory endoparasites that feed on the root systems of many crops. Affected trees appear stunted, may exhibit chlorosis or yellowing of the leaves, and have poor yields; young trees may be killed.

• Pistol casebearer

  Adult is dark gray with fringed wings. The pistol casebearer appears similar to a cigar casebearer: a small, yellowish larva with a black head that builds and hides in a shelter.

• Peach bark beetle

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

• Assassin bugs

  The head is narrow and elongate with the portion behind the eyes neck-like. Sometimes a sculptured crest may be found on the pronotum. The front legs are specialized for hunting.

• Rosy apple aphid

  Populations arise from the overwintered stem mothers, which are wingless and purplish in color, and form into colonies of rosy-purple nymphs with dark cornicles.

• Cigar casebearer

  Adult is dark gray with fringed wings. The small yellowish larva of the cigar casebearer has a black head and builds and hides in a cigar-shaped shelter that it carries with it while feeding or attaches to leaves and branches of apple trees.

• Green June beetle

  The adult is velvet green dorsally with yellow-orange margins on the elytra. Ventrally it is a shiny metallic green mixed with orangish yellow. The larva is a large, C-shaped grub that lives in the soil and is not found in the trees.

• Apple maggot

  Adults are black flies with three or four white cross bands on the abdomen, a prominent white spot at the posterior end of the thorax, and the wings are marked with black bands in the shape of an "F".

• San Jose scale

  Adult males are minute, winged insects about 1 mm long and golden brown with a reddish tinge. Scales may be either disk-shaped or oval, and are composed of concentric rings of gray-brown wax radiating from a tiny white knob.

• Mineola moth (Destructive pruneworm)

  Adult is a bluish gray moth that assumes a wedge shape when at rest. It has a transverse broad white stripe bordered by a smaller reddish brown stripe in the middle of the forewings a smaller set of similar bands occur near the posterior edge.

• Rusty spot

  Lesions begin as small, circular, tan to orange blemishes approximately 3–5 mm in diameter. The discoloration is due to discoloring of the fuzz on the fruit.

• Apple leaf (curling) midge

  The adult is a tiny dark brown fly, and the larva is a yellow-white maggot with a reddish tinge.

• Pale apple leafroller

  The adult is elongated and dull gray. The larva is creamy white with an amber head, which turns black in the penultimate instar.

• Redbanded leafroller

  The adult's forewings are grayish brown with a subtle dark red and brown oblique band. The larva is pale green with a yellow or green head.

• Redhumped caterpillar

  The adult is a grayish brown moth. The larva is yellow with a red head and is lined longitudinally with orangish, black, and white stripes.

• Click beetles

  The click beetle is dark-colored its body is hard and elongated it has a characteristic pair of spurs and sometimes colorful markings on its thorax.

• Obliquebanded leafroller

  Adult wings are beige, tinged with red. Forewings are crossed with oblique brown bands. The female is larger than the male. The green eggs are laid in masses on the upper surface of leaves.

• Hawthorn dark bug

  The young adult is black with red wing markings, which disappear a few days after it metamorphoses into an adult.

• Crown gall

  Infected trees are often stunted and produce small, chlorotic leaves. Spherical to elongated swellings along the roots or on the trunk just above the soil line is the primary symptom.
