What Types of Plants Does the Light Brown Apple Moth Infest?
More than 250 kinds of crops and 2,000 varieties of ornamental trees, plants and shrubs are hosts for LBAM. Some of the plants it affects are roses and jasmine, as well as eucalyptus, willow, pine and walnut trees. The greatest damage occurs to food crops: LBAM feeds on most of California’s 250 crops, including citrus, grapes, berries, apples, peaches, apricots, beans and pears. Almost any garden or landscaping plant is at risk.
