Weevil ridden fruit trees

8 replies

My poor garden.
Novice gardener please be gentle. New build garden. 4 years old. Basically just dirt under the grass so I composted the soil well and added topsoil.
In a row with gaps of about 2 foot between I have 3 fruit trees. Pear plum and apple in that order. Planted 3 years ago.
Ive just found out that my pear and plum trees are absolutely crawling with weevils. So so many all over them
even in daylight. For the moment my apple tree is the only healthy one.
What are my options please anyone?

Can you share a picture of what these insects look like?

I can get a picture in the morning.
a gardener friend looked and said it was weevils. Said he’d never seen a case so bad. He’s worked his whole life in nature so I take his word for it. However I see online that there are quite a few different ones that they could be so I’ll certainly do that.

I’ve been trying all day but can’t attach a photo. Not sure why I’ve done it a million times before.
Photo taken on an iPhone. Either says it’s sensitive or not the right size.
Im stumped.

Can anyone give me any advice without a photo? I give up trying to attach it.
Like I said I trust they are weevils as the person that looked at it is a professional gardener.
I just need some advice.

Could you try asking at a garden centre? A good one that can offer advice.

Oh that’s a good idea thanks! I didn’t think of that.
