Common Tree Health Problems

Trees face numerous health challenges from environmental stress, pests, diseases, and poor growing conditions. Early detection and intervention are critical for successful treatment and recovery.

Issues We Diagnose and Treat:

• Fungal Diseases: Anthracnose, leaf spot, powdery mildew, root rot
• Bacterial Infections: Fire blight, bacterial leaf scorch
• Insect Infestations: Emerald ash borer, borers, scale, aphids
• Environmental Stress: Drought damage, winter injury, salt damage
• Nutrient Deficiencies: Chlorosis, stunted growth, poor color
• Root Problems: Girdling roots, compaction, poor drainage
• Structural Issues: Weak branch unions, co-dominant stems, decay
• Decline Syndromes: Ash decline, oak decline, progressive weakening

For trees with severe health issues or structural defects that cannot be corrected, our tree removal specialists can safely remove them before they become hazards, and we can recommend suitable replacement species.

Preventive Maintenance Programs

The most effective tree health care is preventive rather than reactive. Our customized maintenance programs provide regular monitoring, seasonal care, and early intervention to keep trees healthy and prevent serious problems from developing.

A typical maintenance program includes annual health assessments, seasonal pruning as needed, soil testing and fertilization, pest monitoring, and ongoing care recommendations. This proactive approach catches problems early when they're easier and less expensive to treat. It also establishes a health baseline for your trees, making it easier to detect changes that might indicate developing issues.

For property managers, HOAs, and commercial properties with numerous trees, we design comprehensive tree management programs that maintain tree health across the entire property, prioritize work based on risk and benefit, and provide detailed records and reporting. These programs protect property values and reduce long-term tree care costs through prevention and planning.

The Value of Professional Tree Care

Professional tree health care is an investment that pays dividends through increased property values, reduced risk of tree failure, extended tree life, and lower long-term maintenance costs. A healthy mature tree can add thousands of dollars to property value, while neglected trees become liabilities that detract from appearance and create safety hazards.

Our arborists bring education, experience, and diagnostic tools that enable accurate problem identification and effective treatment. Many tree health issues look similar to untrained observers but require very different treatments. Incorrect diagnosis leads to ineffective treatment and wasted money. Professional care ensures problems are correctly identified and appropriately addressed the first time.
