Woolly apple aphid

Woolly apple aphid

Woolly apple aphids attack the young stems, roots and fruit of apple trees in spring. They surround themselves with a mass of long cottony-white wax strands. Their feeding produces galls on stems and roots, which can provide a reservoir of aphids that continue to infest the aerial parts of the tree.
