Common Pests of Peach Blossom and Their Control

Common Pests of Peach Blossom

Peach blossoms may be infested with insect pests. Common pests of peach blossoms include aphids, scale insects, red spiders, and red-necked longhorn beetles.

Aphids usually appear in spring and will affect the growth of peach branches. On the other hand, a large number of aphids gathering on the branches of peach will also affect the ornamental value of peach.

Red spider mites can harm the branches, leaves, and flowers of peach trees. In the early stages of the infestation, there will be some very small light yellow spots on the leaves. In severe cases, the leaves will dry up, curl, turn yellow, and fall off.

The red-necked longhorn beetle will eat the bark of the peach tree, harming its growth.
