Non-Chemical Management
- Do not purchase susceptible trees. Mount Fuji Oriental and weeping (or Higan) Flowering cherries are very susceptible to CBT attack.
- Practice proper tree care.
- Avoid any mechanical injuries or large pruning cuts.
- Conserve parasitic wasps and other predators by reducing pesticide usage. Do not make unnecessary pesticide applications to the trunk of the tree unless CBT is your target.
