1 APPENDIX A PEST AND DISEASE PHOTO CHART This photographic appendix is designed to ease identification of disease and insect pest problems. Two photographs are provided for each pest, which are grouped according to the type of damage they represent. The first photograph is an overall view of the damage and/or symptoms, while the second photograph is a close-up of the pest problem or the actual pest causing the symptoms. The first column, Name of Pest, states what the problem is. The second column, Trees Susceptible, indicates which trees are hosts for the particular pest. The page number of the appropriate pest fact sheet is provided in the third column. APPENDIX A... APPENDIX A
