About Dogwood Borers
Clear-winged moth larvae, known as dogwood borers, tunnel into the bark and cambium of dogwood trees, causing dieback and weakening the tree's structure. These pests are especially problematic in Middle Tennessee landscapes, including Columbia and Franklin, where they target flowering dogwoods, leading to branch decline and increased susceptibility to disease. Early detection and treatment are crucial to protect your trees from severe damage.
