Polyphagous shot-hole borer (PSHB) Information Session
November 30 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Learn about the PSHB, and the efforts to control it.
Small beetle, big problem!
The Polyphagous shot-hole borer (PSHB) is a wood-boring invasive beetle that excavates tunnels in the trunks and branches of trees. PSHB introduces a Fusarium fungus into these tunnels which it cultivates as a food source. In susceptible species, this fungus causes dieback and tree death.
This information session will cover aspects of the beetle including its biology, lifecycle, potential impacts, which trees are at risk, the signs and symptoms to look for, what the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) is doing to stop the spread of this pest and how to report suspect borer activity.
