Periodical Cicada | In Virginia both the 17-and 13-year cicadas damage many ornamental and hardwood trees. Oaks are commonly attacked but the most seriously damaged are newly planted fruit and ornamental trees such as apple, dogwood, peach, hickory, cherry, and pear. Pines and other conifers are not commonly attacked. |

IMPACT: Virginia Winter Fruit School Impact | Tree fruits are important to the agricultural
economy in Virginia. The commonwealth
ranks sixth in the nation in apple production,
with a crop valued at more than $68 million,
and 20th in peach production, with a crop
valued at $4.5 million. Although smaller in
acreage, cherries, pears, and plums also play
an important role in some areas of Virginia.
These fruit crops are susceptible to an everchanging
array of insects, plant diseases,
and weeds, and pest management programs
are complex and knowledge-intensive. |
