Citrus borer
As an Arborist I am often asked how and when to prune citrus trees in Auckland to protect them from borer.
Pruning should be done after the main fruiting period in late winter to early spring so the wounds can heal before the beetles fly.
Borer gets in through wounds when the adults lay their eggs during the flying season (around November to March) and the larvae do all the damage. They tunnel their way inside the branches towards the stem preventing sap from flowing.
If you find evidence of borer, remove the limb immediately, if possible right to the parent stem, treat the holes, and monitor the tree. A heavy infestation can kill the tree.
