Tree Disease Treatments for Pests & Pathogens

Once our tree disease treatment team determines that a disease or pest issue both warrants treatment (not all problems do) and has a reasonable solution (some simply don’t), we develop a thoughtful approach to managing and controlling the biotic agents at play — in plain terms, the bugs and pathogens causing the problem. Our recommendations are based on the principles of Integrated Pest Management (IPM).

Tree Disease Solutions That Start at the Roots

Tree health starts in the soil around the roots. Is water being applied deeply and widely enough? Are essential nutrients available for the tree to absorb? Is the soil loose enough for roots to grow and open enough to provide oxygen for root cells to breathe? When we improve conditions for the root system, we improve overall tree health and can often reduce minor pest and disease pressure — sometimes to a tolerable level without the need for chemical treatments.

Tree Disease Treatment Services: Identify the Cause, Treat the Tree

In many cases, our arborists recommend adding smaller perennial plants to the surrounding landscape. These plants are selected to attract beneficial insects, such as tiny pollinating wasps. While the adults feed on nectar and pollen, their larvae are voracious predators. The young larvae feed on aphids, caterpillars, scale insects, and more, helping keep pest populations low enough to avoid intervention.

Tree Disease Support for Healthier, Stronger Trees

When chemical control is necessary, we use it carefully and strategically. Tree service treatments are targeted and timed to critical points in the pest or disease life cycle — because even the right product is ineffective if applied at the wrong time or in the wrong place. Whole-canopy spraying is limited to smaller fruit trees, using products such as horticultural oils or spinosad. Larger trees are typically treated with systemic products that move with water from the soil up through the trunk and branches and out to the leaves, allowing for effective control with minimal disruption. Legacy provides tree disease specialists to promote healthier, stronger trees. Contact us today!
