Polyphagous Shot Hole Borer • PSHB or Euwallacea sp. • Invasive beetle, probably
from Vietnam originally • Observed on over 110
plant species in California; 31 reproduc<ve host species and coun<ng.
• First observed in Los Angeles in 2003; not linked to tree injury un<l 2012.

Poten<al Ecological Impacts on Southern California
• Loss of trees • Loss of wildlife habitat • Increased risk of fire • Hazard for recrea<onal users • Adverse impact on food system

The Pest/Disease Complex
• Female PSHB bores galleries in tree. • Introduces two species of fungi, which it feeds on: Fusarium euwallaceae and Graphium sp.
• Fungi interrupt the tree’s vascular system, causing Fusarium dieback (FD).
• PSHB reproduces (3–4 genera<ons annually), offspring usually the re-‐infest same tree, and the cycle repeats un<l the tree dies.

Arroyo Seco Trees at Risk • Bigleaf maple (Acer macrophyllum) • Box elder (Acer negrundo) • White alder (Alnus rhombifolia) • California sycamore (Platanus racemosa) • Fremont co6onwood (Populus fremon<i) • Coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia) • Engelmann oak (Quercus engelmannii) !! • Valley oak (Quercus lobata) • Red willow (Salix laevigata)

Some Non-‐Na<ve Trees at Risk
• Japanese maple (Acer palmatum) • Persimmon (Diospyros sp.) • Olive (Olea europaea) • Blue palo verde (Parkinsonia florida) • Avocado (Persea americana) • Cork oak (Quercus suber) • Weeping willow (Salix babylonica)

Signs of Infesta<on
• Round entry/exit hole about the size of a ballpoint pen head
• White ring around hole with discolora<on/swea<ng.
• Details vary by tree species. • If in doubt, bark may be scraped away to reveal necrosis around hole. Sterilize tools with bleach or alcohol solu<on aherward to prevent spreading FD.

Arroyo Seco Tree Inventory
• Collabora<on between Pasadena Department of Public Works and Arroyo Seco Founda<on.
• Volunteers are collec<ng data from the Arroyo Seco and adjacent parks in Pasadena.
• Data is logged and mapped using Esri’s Collector for ArcGIS mobile applica<on.
• Long-‐term vision: data can be used to develop a response strategy, a restora<on plan, and to seek funding.

What Can We Do?
• On a large scale, we s<ll do not know. • Keep an eye out and report infesta<ons. • If you are removing an infested tree: – Mulch wood to pieces smaller than ½ inch. – Solarize mulched wood on site. – Sterilize tools with bleach or alcohol solu<on to prevent spreading FD.
