An Assessment of Cottonwood Twig-Borer Attacks
Commercial production of eastern cottonwood (Populus deltoides Bartr.) in plantations on agricultural soils in Brazos and Burleson Counties, Texas, is economically prohibitive because of severe attacks by cottonwood insects. The stunting and deformation of young trees caused by the cottonwood twig-borer (Gypsonoma haimbachiana Kft.) is especially serious. Morris (1967) rates this as the most destructive of the insects that damage young cottonwood.
