Learn about Tree Diseases Solis Tree Service Can Help
Atlanta's warm, humid climate can create ideal conditions for certain tree diseases. Recognizing the signs and taking early action is crucial to saving your trees. Here are some common threats:
Root Rot:This fungal disease thrives in poorly drained soil, causing roots to decay and weaken the tree's structure. Symptoms include yellowing leaves, wilting, and overall decline.
Oak Wilt: A devastating disease for oak trees, oak wilt spreads through roots and insects, causing rapid leaf discoloration, wilting, and eventual death.
Hypoxylon Canker:This fungal disease attacks weakened or stressed trees, particularly hardwood species like oak and maple. It forms distinctive cankers on branches and trunks, leading to dieback and potentially killing the tree.
Dogwood Anthracnose:This fungal disease disfigures dogwood trees, causing leaf spots, twig dieback, and cankers. Severe infections can kill the tree.
Bacterial Leaf Scorch: This bacterial infection affects a wide range of trees, including oaks, maples, and sycamores. It causes browning leaf margins and early defoliation, weakening the tree over time.
