Insect & Disease Management

Leaf Chewing Insects

We can help reduce the insect populations which eat leaves. Common leaf chewing insects, such as Gypsy Moth and Tent Caterpillars, can have a devastating affect on the foliage. With fewer leaves the tree’s ability to photosynthesize is diminished. The damage causes an unsightly appearance, as well as a stressed tree leaving it susceptible to other pests and disease problems.

Leaf Sucking Insects

Leaf sucking insect, such as mites, aphids and scale, create stress for the host plant. The stress affects the trees’ ability to maintain natural functions, such as manufacturing photosynthates (food), as well as H₂O and nutrient transfer. Reduce the insect populations with and pest management program and reduce the stress. Your trees will be healthier and look better!

Fungus

Tree fungus can range from mushroom-like growths on the trunk/stem to black spots on the leaves. Browning or yellowing leaves that droop or curl are common indicators of a fungus problem. Either way, a fungus problem is unsightly and causes early leaf drop. To manage fungus problems, we offer treatments which will help to eradicate existing fungus and reduce future fungus growth.
