Bark Aphids

About Bark Aphids

Small, soft-bodied insects often found on tree bark, bark aphids feed by sucking sap, leading to weakened branches and sooty mold growth from their honeydew secretions. Commonly infesting maples, elms, and fruit trees, these pests can cause branch dieback and reduce overall tree vigor. Homeowners in Middle Tennessee, including areas like Franklin and Brentwood, should monitor trees regularly to manage infestations early.
