Asian Longhorned Beetle Technical Report

A Technical Report from The Bartlett Tree Research Laboratories

Asian longhorned beetle (ALB) is a destructive pest of maple and other deciduous trees. ALB larvae bore into stems and branches of host trees creating galleries (tunnels) that interrupt water and nutrient transport, resulting in dieback and decline of the plant. Galleries can be so extensive that branches can become structurally unsound and prone to failure.
