Show Apple Tree Borer Does Much Harm in Orchards It is rare, indeed, that a young orchard or-chard comes into bearing without considerable con-siderable loss of trees due to the apple ap-ple tree borer, unless the orchard is regularly and carefully inspected to locate the borers and to make possible possi-ble this destruction. Presence of borers is usually indicated indi-cated by a bit of frass about the base of the tree on the ground. Inspection every month or two through the growing season will be advisable. If you should find any borers bor-ers in the orchard it may be necessary to cut along the burrow a considerable distance before the borer is found, but such injury will do less damage than the borer will if allowed to continue his work. |
