- Adults and nymphs make small feeding punctures in leaves, mainly in the young leaves in shoot tips around the mid-vein.
- The punctures turn brown and eventually black.
- Leaves grow unevenly and become distorted and puckered.
- Nymphs also feed on young developing fruitlets causing similar puncture marks.
- As the fruitlets grow, irregular corky scars are formed and the fruit is misshaped.
