How can I diagnose and treat tree diseases or pests?

Diagnosing:

  • Observe the tree carefully and look for any signs of abnormal growth, discolouration or wilting of leaves, presence of unusual insects or fungal growth, etc.

  • Take some photographs and note down your observations

  • Contact our certified arborists for an expert opinion. We will happily assist you in diagnosing the issue and providing the right treatment for the tree.

  • Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for the health of the tree.

Treating:

  • Physical treatments: Pruning dead or infected branches and removing fallen leaves can help prevent the spread of diseases.

  • Environmental treatments: Improving soil drainage, providing adequate sunlight and water, and fertilizing the tree can help promote its overall health and prevent diseases.

  • Biological treatments: Using beneficial insects like ladybugs and lacewings can help control pest infestations.

  • Chemical treatments: Spraying pesticides and fungicides can help control pests and diseases.

Don't hesitate to seek professional help if you're not sure what to do.
