This 3 mm black aphid usually lives in colonies on (ornamental) cherries of the cherry family (Prunus)<\/em>. They live off plant sap. They colonize the tops of the branches, whose leaves begin to curl and become crammed together due to growth retardation.
\nThe eggs are laid in the curled leaves.
\nSome Prunus species are more susceptible to black cherry aphid colonies than others. For example, the wild cherry – Prunus avium<\/em> is more prone to be colonised than the Japanese cherry<\/a> – Prunus serrulata<\/em>
