Signs of Tree Pests & Diseases
Your trees will often let you know if there is a problem. Don't ignore these common signs of tree pests and diseases:
- Leaf damage, such as spots, premature yellowing, or wilting
- Bark damage, such as oozing wounds, cracks, and holes from burrowing insects
- Discoloration of leaves or bark
- A high number of insects visible in the canopy or on the bark
- Fungal growth on the tree or around its base
- Dead, dying, or defoliated branches
- Stunted or reduced growth
Infestations & Diseases may be caused by nutrient deficiencies & tree stress
Pest and disease issues often happen because the tree is stressed by poor environmental conditions, making it more vulnerable to insect pests and lethal diseases. Contact Godspeed Tree Service for a full assessment to determine if your trees need fertilization to keep them healthy.
