Our team at Sarasota Tree Service Pros has countless years of experience identifying tree diseases for local businesses and homeowners in the Sarasota, Fl. Trees can get sick and contract diseases just like people and animals. And for many people, watching a beloved tree die a slow, drawn out death can be quite sad. Thankfully, the majority of diseases don’t have to mean a death sentence if they are caught in time. Many bacterial or fungal infections can be quickly and effectively treated as soon as they are identified. For more serious diseases, it’s best to leave the treatment process to our professionals. If it’s too late for the tree to be saved, we can handle the tree removal from your property before it becomes dangerous.

With care and maintenance, healthy trees can be a lovely addition to any private or public landscape. However, diseased and unhealthy trees are not only unsightly but can also be a safety hazard for your home and loved ones. Our tree professionals can help you identify, treat, and if necessary, remove unhealthy trees from your yard. We provide tree services ranging from emergency cutting to standard trimming and removal and more, and your certified arborist will help you determine what services you need to ensure your trees remain strong and healthy. If you aren’t sure whether or not you should call about tree removal, here are a few tell-tale symptoms of the most common diseases we see in trees.

What are some common diseases?

demossing your trees

Leaf Rust: Trees that are impacted by leaf rust develop distinctive red and orange spots on their leaves.

Powdery Mildew: Regularly check leaves for discolorations or signs of damage. If leaves look white or dusty, this could mean that you have an infestation of powdery mildew.

Witch's Broom: As the name suggests, witch’s broom is when a cluster of branches and twigs come up in the middle of a tree branch.

Japanese Beetle: These bugs are invasive and can be identified by their brown thorax. Japanese beetles thrive by eating the leaves of your trees.

As tree lovers, we understand that your shrubs and trees are a special part of your landscape, not just for the visual appeal but for the shade they provide during the hot Florida days as well. Strategically placed trees and shrubs can also provide much-desired privacy for your home, yard, and business.

We know that your shrubs and trees and important to you and we want to help you ensure that nothing happens to them. We all have a friend or family member who has lost a tree to disease and had to have it removed. Not only did they have to deal with the cost and the hassle, but they also lost the shade and possibly privacy which that tree provided. Don’t let that happen to you; let us help you keep your trees healthy and safe. Contact our team at Sarasota Tree Service Pros today and set up your free consultation appointment.
