Peach Twig Borer: Damage on Peaches & Nectarines

Peach twig borer can damage tender shoots and fruit of peaches, nectarines and related stone fruits.

What to look for

Young larvae can bore into shoots, causing shoot strikes or wilting tips. Later generations can damage fruit.

Timing is important

California IPM programs use seasonal monitoring because treatment effectiveness depends strongly on pest stage and timing.
