Help protect our trees against the Polyphagous Shot-Hole Borer

Posted on 1 June 2023

The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) and Town of Mosman Park are joining forces in a critical battle against the Polyphagous shot-hole borer (PSHB), a non-native beetle that poses a significant threat to our trees.

This partnership will enhance our collective ability to identify and control the spread of these destructive beetles, thereby safeguarding our tree population.

Residents may notice surveillance traps strategically placed throughout the Town as part of our efforts to combat the PSHB. These traps play a vital role in locating areas where the pests are hiding. Currently, there is no available treatment for infected trees. Therefore, when an infection is identified, it is crucial to promptly remove the affected material. In some cases, pruning branches may be sufficient, but if the trunk is infected, the entire tree may need to be removed.

Seven trees throughout Mosman Park have been removed due to PSHB infestation. However, across the quarantine area, which includes 25 local government authorities, a total of 519 trees have already been removed, with an additional 127 pruned. These numbers serve as a sobering reminder that further tree losses within our Town are likely.

Urgent action is necessary to combat the spread of this invasive species. If your tree is infected and needs to be removed you can always request a tree from the Town.

By doing so, you’re enabling us to work together in maintaining our community’s greenery and canopy cover. By replacing lost trees, we contribute to the restoration of our environment and ensure the long-term sustainability of our urban landscape.
