Trees, like humans, get sick, too. But it’s not as easy to detect sometimes. Your tree won’t cough, or have a running nose and you can’t take its temperature.
The best offense is ultimate defense when it comes to greenery. Prevention is key to a beautiful healthy tree. Some ways to keep your trees from “catching” a disease are as following:
- Keep disease from spreading. If you notice a decaying or dead tree, remove it immediately. By cutting down that particular tree, you help ensure the health of surrounding trees. Have a tree removed by a professional, such as Cartwright Tree Care to ensure that it’s done right and the disease is localized and stopped.
- If the area you live in is prone to certain tree diseases, purchase trees that are naturally resistant.
- Treat your trees. Regularly spraying your trees with solutions that prevent fungal infection and insect infestation can prevent tree diseases from spreading. Insecticide is important because as insects burrow eggs within the tree, the sap weakens.
Trees are a beautiful part of nature. Protect their health with these easy steps. For further consultation, contact Cartwright Tree Care today.
