Borers
Branch wilt and dieback
About Borers
Borers are larvae that tunnel into tree branches, causing branch wilt and dieback, particularly in hardwoods common in Middle Tennessee areas like Franklin and Brentwood. These pests weaken structural integrity by disrupting nutrient flow, leading to thinning foliage and branch death. Early detection and treatment are key to preventing serious damage in landscape trees.
Borers (Branch wilt and dieback) 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.
