Tree Diseases
There are over 30 different common diseases that affect trees.
Tree blight is a generic term which refers to a group of trees which are infected with a fungus or bacteria. Trees with blight should be pruned to remove any affected limbs. If left unchecked, the tree will eventually die.
Many trees are susceptible to root rot. Root Rot will attack the roots of a tree growing in damp or wet soil. It can cut short the life of a tree and contribute to a pest problem. Treatment includes prevention of standing water or wet soil and filling in low parts of the ground.
Leaf spot is a common term applied to many different diseases that affect the leaves of a tree. It is usually caused by fungi or bacteria. Spots are common and typically do not require any type of treatment.
Oak wilt is a disease that affects oak trees. It is a serious disease which kills thousands of oak trees each year. The fungus can get into trees that have wounds and can move from tree to tree through the roots or by insects. There is no cure once a tree is infected with oak wilt.
