Tomicus piniperda L. is
recognized as one of the most destructive bark beetles of pine in its native
Eurasia.
Pine (Pinus) is the principle host tree for
this pest. In the Great Lakes region T. piniperda has demonstrated a preference for
Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) but has also
infected Red pine (P.
resinosa L.), Jack pine (P. banksiana L.), Eastern white pine (P. strobus L.) and Austrian
pine (P. nigra
L.).
