Longhorn Beetles
CommonPest
Sawdust-like frass is pushed out at the trunk base or branch crotches. The wood is hollowed out, the tree loses vigor, and the trunk may snap in strong wind.
Sooty Mold
CommonDisease
A thin black sooty mold spreads over the upper leaf surface, shoots and fruit. It does not invade the tissue itself, but it blocks photosynthesis and badly spoils appearance.
