Mild to Severe
The larvae of dogwood Borer, known as borers, tunnel into the stems and roots of fruit trees, disrupting the flow of water and nutrients. Infestations can lead to wilting, reduced fruit yield, and in severe cases, the death of the tree. Human agriculture suffers as pest populations grow, affecting harvest quality and quantity.
