About Pear
Tiny, slender pear thrips (Taeniothrips inconsequens) cause damage by feeding on leaf tissue, resulting in silvery or bronze discoloration and distorted growth on maples and other ornamental trees. These pests thrive in warm conditions common to Middle Tennessee, including areas like Franklin and Brentwood, and can reduce the aesthetic value of landscape plants if not managed early. Monitoring and timely treatment help protect vulnerable trees from extensive damage.
