Your Tree’s Health is Our Priority
Investing in tree health management is one of the most important things you can do to help your tree live a long, healthy life. What is tree health management? It is the complete care of a tree during every stage of its life cycle. This includes pruning, soil and root care, insect and disease diagnosis, treatments, planting, consulting, and more.
Because we recognize the importance of this service, the Pacific Arboriculture team is excited to offer plant healthcare services in Seattle. We are proud to team up with Arborjet to provide effective plant solutions and formulations to help care for and save trees.
What’s Wrong With My Tree?
Our arborist team is well-trained to determine your tree’s issues and can quickly assemble a treatment plan. Here are some common things to watch if you suspect your tree has a problem.
Common Tree Diseases to Watch Out For
Dutch Elm Disease – Dutch elm disease commonly infects American and European elm trees. If your tree has this disease, it will show signs of wilting, yellowing, and browning. You’ll also find purplish discoloration in the sapwood under the bark. If not treated, the tree will eventually die.
Oak Wilt – Trees infected with oak wilt will show signs of leaf discoloration and even death in a short period. Fungal mats will form on the bark, causing cracking. In addition, limbs will fall off, and the tree will die if left untreated.
Apple Scab – One of the first signs of apple scab is brownish-green spots on the leaves or fruit. If the infection isn’t treated, spots on the fruit will become darker and more prominent. Leaves will also turn yellow and begin to fall off.
Fire Blight – Some of the first symptoms of fire blight are early death of flowers with green shoots next to the flower petiole. The bacteria can quickly move into the wood and twigs of the lateral branches, causing black cankers. Leaves turn brown and begin to shrivel.
Bug Infestations
Unfortunately, many bugs can cause problems with trees. In Washington, bronze birch borers, winter moths, emerald ash borers, citrus and Asian longhorned beetles, and sirex woodwasps are some of the most common. To determine if your tree has a bug issue, look for holes in the bark or leaves, yellowing leaves, sawdust, twig dieback, and discoloration of leaves or needles.
Diagnosing Your Tree
There are a few things to watch for that could signal a problem in your trees. Watch for changes to leaves, bark abnormalities, dead branches, early leaf drop, yellowing, leaning, leaf discoloration, cracking, damaged roots, and more. Your tree’s symptoms can help you diagnose the problem. Need help with diagnosing your trees? Pacific Arboriculture will be happy to help.
