The Peach Tree Borer and Its Remedies
The Peach Tree Borer is described as a worming pest that attacks peach trees in summer by feeding on inner bark and soft wood near the surface. If unchecked, trees can die in one season, though signs like yellows may appear in two to three years. Remedies include weekly trunk checks with a knife to remove young borers, wrapping trunks in paper from below ground to above, and applying gravel mounds around trunks to deter emergence, with removal and replacement of gravel each season.
