Active Tree Threats in Coconino County

Palo Verde Root Borer moderate

Affects: Palo Verde trees (primary), but larvae found in roots of other desert trees

Spectacular 4-inch beetle with long antennae. Larvae spend 2-3 years feeding on Palo Verde roots underground before emerging as adults in summer monsoon season. Healthy trees can tolerate moderate infestation.

What to do: Maintain tree vigor through deep irrigation. Heavily infested trees may need removal if structurally compromised. Soil drench insecticide has limited effectiveness since larvae are deep underground.

Giant Whitefly moderate

Giant Whitefly - active in Coconino County, AZ

Affects: Ornamental trees and shrubs - hibiscus, ficus, mulberry, citrus

Produces waxy spiral deposits on undersides of leaves and long waxy filaments that look like white beards hanging from trees. Cosmetically alarming but rarely kills trees.

What to do: Wash off with strong water spray. Avoid broad-spectrum insecticides that kill natural predators. Parasitic wasps provide natural control if not disrupted by pesticides.

Bark Beetle Complex high at elevation

Bark Beetle Complex - active in Coconino County, AZ

Affects: Ponderosa pine, pinyon pine, and other conifers at higher elevations

Multiple bark beetle species (Ips, Dendroctonus) attack drought-stressed conifers. Trees show fading needles, boring dust at base, and die within weeks. Decades of drought and fire suppression have created vulnerable forests.

What to do: Water conifers deeply during drought. Thin overcrowded stands. Remove infested trees promptly. Preventive bark spray (carbaryl, permethrin) on high-value trees before beetle flight season.
