Disease Management

Tree diseases can be difficult to diagnosis and treat. Elite Tree Care provides disease treatment services to help identify the disease and cure your infected trees. Our ISA-certified arborists offer effective, well-timed applications and prevention methods for both residential and commercial properties.

The usual causes of tree diseases include:

• Fungi
• Bacteria
• Drought
• Extreme temperatures
• Air pollution

Here are just some of the common Pennsylvania tree diseases we treat:

• Black Knot
• Dutch Elm Disease
• Fire blight
• Maple decline
• Oak wilt
• Root and butt rots
• Sycamore Anthracnose
• Verticillium wilt

Some of our prevention methods include:

Pruning: we can remove dead or diseased tree limbs to limit the spread of disease to other plants. Regular pruning also helps maintain your tree’s overall health.

Fertilization: fertilizer injections can help improve the growth of your tree’s root system, resulting in a healthier tree that is better equipped to resist infection.
