Blog Navigating Tree Disease: Prevention and Treatment with Braun Tree Service May 30, 2024

As a leading tree service company, Braun Tree Service is dedicated to helping our customers navigate the complexities of tree disease prevention and treatment. Trees are an essential part of our environment, providing us with oxygen, shade, and beauty. However, just like any living organism, trees are susceptible to diseases that can weaken or even kill them if left untreated. In this blog post, we will discuss some common tree diseases, how to prevent them, and the treatment options available through Braun Tree Service.

One of the most common tree diseases is Dutch Elm Disease, which affects elm trees. This fungal disease is spread by elm bark beetles and causes wilting, yellowing leaves, and eventual death of the tree. To prevent Dutch Elm Disease, it is important to keep elm trees healthy through regular pruning and maintenance. Braun Tree Service offers professional pruning services to ensure your trees are in optimal health and less susceptible to disease.

Another common tree disease is Oak Wilt, which affects oak trees. This fungal disease blocks the flow of water and nutrients within the tree, leading to wilting leaves, dead branches, and eventual tree death. To prevent Oak Wilt, it is crucial to avoid pruning or cutting oak trees during the growing season when the disease-carrying beetles are active. Braun Tree Service can provide a diagnosis of Oak Wilt and recommend the best course of treatment, which may include tree injection with fungicides.

Fire Blight is a bacterial disease that affects fruit trees such as apple and pear trees. Early symptoms include wilting, blackened leaves, and oozing cankers on branches. To prevent Fire Blight, it is essential to prune infected branches and sanitize pruning tools to avoid spreading the bacteria. Braun Tree Service can help identify and treat Fire Blight with appropriate antibacterial sprays or pruning techniques.

In addition to specific tree diseases, trees can also be affected by environmental stressors such as drought, pollution, and poor soil quality. These factors can weaken trees and make them more susceptible to disease. Braun Tree Service offers tree health assessments to identify any underlying issues affecting your trees and provide tailored solutions to improve their overall health.
