Ash Whitefly

Ash Whitefly is a pest of numerous ornamental and fruit crops, including citrus. It causes severe damage to pear and apple in Europe. Most ash whiteflies in California were found on pomegranate, ash tree, pear, apple, loquat and citrus. Heavy infestations cause leaf wilt, early leaf drop and smaller fruit (Bellows et al. 1990). Discovered in Florida in 2010, if it becomes established it could become a pest of ornamental plants and possibly other crops.
