At this time, Kelowna is experiencing an outbreak of western pine beetle (WPB) and mountain pine beetle (MPB). WPB only attacks Ponderosa pines. MPB will attack most species of pines, including ponderosa, lodgepole, white and Scotch pines. Occasionally, spruce trees are attacked, although they are not a preferred host.
