|

Our services include everything from trimming, pruning, and recognizing common tree diseases—which is essential to maintaining the health and appearance of your trees. This is much more about just aesthetics, as it truly helps to cultivate a healthy ecosystem. Our staff knows that trees can get diseases, and we know that there are all sorts of different infestations that occur from different species. Often times, these disease can literally kill parts of the tree. Let’s go over some common diseases and remember that there are usually two categories of tree disease: infectious and noninfectious.
These category names should be pretty self-explanatory, because there are some diseases that can spread throughout a tree, and others that cannot. Often times, infectious diseases include bacteria, fungi, or viruses that actually spur the infection to spread. You will want to make sure to take preventative measures to avoid this—similar to how human beings take precaution when it comes to the weather, the same has to happen to trees. They must be taken care of in order to survive. Noninfectious diseases often happen thanks to an environmental stress more than anything else. This could be anything from temperature fluctuations, changes in environmental moisture, lack of nutrients, vandalism, pollution, and all sorts of other potential factors. It should be stated that the vast majority of these are noninfectious.

Tree Diseases
Of course, you will want to look for symptoms, and the truth is that tree disease tend to look very similar in both categories. If you take the time to inspect your trees, it can help to prevent actually having to remove parts of your tree. For example, if you find tree disease in time, it might prevent you from having to cut the whole tree. Of course, cutting an entire tree down has its own risks, because this can cause potential injury to a person or damage to property, as well. One symptom you might notice is that the canopy is thinning or that there are bare branches. Likewise, you might see discolored leaves that are blotchy, spotty, or simply abnormal. You might also notice cracks in the bark, even, or areas of the tree where bark isn’t even growing. Under close inspection, it will be obvious that the tree is obviously “sick.”
