grey box psyllid - silverdale

[Alex Burgess-Buxton]

Hi,

 

While inspecting a tree removal application for a Large Euc mollucana at silverdale I identified a significant infestation of greybox psyllid impacting the tree. I would expect the tree to recover but it will probably be removed under 10/50 before it has a chance. Some of the psyllids had been infected by parasitoid wasps. I’m not sure where the closest previously identified infestation of psyllid was, is this substantially outside its known range of impact?

 

I’ll keep an eye out and advise if the psyllid is substantially impacting other greybox in the area

 

Regards

 

Alex
