About Birch

Bronze birch borers (Agrilus anxius) are metallic green beetles that infest birch trees, causing branch dieback and thinning foliage. These pests target birches in Middle Tennessee, including areas like Franklin and Brentwood, weakening trees and making them more susceptible to other stresses. Early detection and treatment are essential to protect the tree’s health and maintain its attractive, smooth bark and graceful form.

Birch is a landscape pest commonly found in Middle Tennessee, including Columbia, Thompson's Station, Spring Hill, and the surrounding areas. This entry is part of our Landscape Pests identification guide.
