Bronze birch borer and Betula Jacquemontii in Northern California
 

I'm thinking about getting a Betula jacquemontii - White-barked
Himalayan Birch for my front garden. I have heard that Jacquemontii
birches can be quite suseptible to damage from the Bronze birch borer.
Are Bronze birch borer's common in the SF Bay Area (Millbrae, CA)?

Thanks,
