Is there gummy sap mixed with sawdust at the base of your peach, plum, or cherry tree? That's the #1 sign of the peachtree borer — a hidden grub that eats the living bark 1 inch below the soil line and can kill a young tree in just 1–2 seasons.
In this video, I'll show you how to find this silent stone fruit killer in under 60 seconds, how to remove it the way old-time orchardists did, and the one timing secret most backyard growers never hear about. These are the same field-tested methods I use on my own trees. No fluff, just what keeps your trees alive and loaded with fruit.
✅ What you'll learn:
✔️ The 5 common mistakes that invite peachtree borers (mulch, trimmers, deep planting, wrong spray timing)
✔️ How to tell borer gum from canker gum (location + frass test)
✔️ The life cycle of the wasp-like clearwing moth
✔️ Step-by-step "worming" with a simple piece of wire
✔️ Why you should NEVER seal the wound with tar or paint
✔️ Beneficial nematodes (Steinernema carpocapsae): when and how to apply them
✔️ Correctly timed trunk protection (not a canopy spray!)
✔️ How to save a badly damaged tree
✔️ GOLDEN TIP: the $10–20 pheromone trap that tells you the exact week to act

📋 Quick checklist:
☑ Bare ring of soil (6–12") around the trunk with no mulch touching the bark
☑ No string trimmer near the base
☑ Root flare kept slightly above the soil
☑ Crown inspection every spring and fall
☑ Trunk protection 1–2 weeks after the first trap catch
