Thank you to everyone sending us #AppleBlossomWeevil capped blossom from their UK #orchards and trees. We are spotting some really interesting parasitoids developing - two or maybe three species. This implies we have some natural enemies of this re-emerging pest already present in the UK.
We want your apple blossom weevils!
Are you an apple orchard grower or apple agronomist in the UK?
We are looking for capped blossom sightings in UK orchards, and a bit of information about the locations where you are finding them.
