Ahorn Petiole Borer

Ahorn Petiole Borer

Der Ahorn Petiole Borer ist eine jener Insekten, die eine Menge Besorgnis erregt, aber eigentlich nicht ernst ist.

Die Erwachsenen legen im Mai Eier auf Ahornstiele. Die Larven tunneln in den Blattstiel und essen alle Gewebe im Blattstiel. Der Blattstiel ist geschwächt und das Blatt fällt ab, wobei die Larven in dem Teil des Blattstiels verbleiben, der noch am Baum befestigt ist. Später fallen die Larven zu Boden und verpuppen sich.

Das Hauptsymptom sind die abgefallenen Blätter. Diese haben in der Regel einen kurzen Teil des Blattstiels noch befestigt, obwohl es in der Regel schwarz und geschrumpft ist.

Kontrollen werden normalerweise nicht benötigt.

❓ Can you save a tree with borers?

👉 Once borers have infested a tree, they can be difficult to control. Insecticidal sprays can be successful only if they are applied to the tree when the adult borers are active and laying eggs. Consequently, the proper timing of insecticide sprays is crucial for effective chemical control of borers.

❓ How do you keep borers out of trees?

👉 Clear away frass to expose tunnels and stab grubs with a piece of wire. Prune off infested branches where practical. You need to make sure the borer larva is inside what you are pruning off. The simplest way to do this is check your cut for a borer hole or tunnel.

❓ What is killing my maple tree?

👉 Verticillium Wilt – Also called maple wilt, this fungus is a common and serious problem that can kill trees.

👉 The sugar maple borer, Glyco- bius speciosus (Say), is generally considered to be the most injuri- ous insect pest of sugar maple. Al- though intermediate or codominant trees of low vigor may be preferred, vigorous trees from sapling to ma- ture size are attacked.

❓ What is the Maple petiole borer?

👉 The maple petiole borer, a sawfly in the adult stage, was introduced into the United States from Europe. (view photos) The tiny larvae tunnel in the petioles, which eventually causes the petiole to break a short distance from the leaf blade. The damaged leaves fall from the tree in May and June.

❓ What is Ahorn?

👉 Ahorn ( Acer pseudoplatanus) er et stort, løvfældende træ med grove grene og håndlappede blade. På grund af artens store hårdførhed, tålsomhed over for beskæring og kronebygning bruges den ofte som allé- og bytræ. Dens frugter er de kendte, vingede "helikoptere". Ahorn kaldes også Ær eller Valbirk .

❓ How long do borers stay on a maple tree?

👉 Larvae remain in the part of the stem still attached to the tree until it drops after about 10 days. Larvae then exit the petioles and burrow into the soil to form pupae. Maple petiole borers do not affect the health of the tree or its appearance.

❓ What happens to the petiole of a maple tree after it dies?

👉 After 10 days, the portion of the petiole attached to the tree will fall to the ground with the borer. Larvae leave the petiole and burrow into the soil where they remain until the following spring when they emerge as adult sawflies. There is one generation of maple petiole borer each year.
