All species of trees are vulnerable to diseases and pest infestations year-round that can cause serious damage. If left untreated, the extensive harm caused to the tree might make it difficult to save. In order to save your tree and minimize the harm caused, if you notice any signs of a tree disease or pest infestation, make sure you call a tree care service provider immediately.
Prevention is key to maintaining the long-term health of your trees. It’s important to be proactive with treatments to prevent damaging infestations and diseases before they occur. This ensures your plants will stay healthy, which in turn protects and enhances the value of your property. Our certified arborists and technicians provide foolproof plant health care services and will help find the best treatment plan for your trees.
Our Tree Treatment Services
At Birch Tree Care, our technicians and arborists are trained and experienced to make an accurate diagnosis of the infection and come up with a solution to resolve the issue. We offer a line of tree treatment and plant health care services to prevent and treat diseases affecting trees in the Twin Cities area:
Apple Scab Treatment
If you notice spots, discoloration, and early leaf loss, your apple trees could be affected by apple scab. This fungal disease infects both the leaves and the fruit of apple trees. Our apple scab fungal sprays are an effective measure to treat and prevent this disease.
Oak Wilt Treatment
Oak wilt is a fungal disease that is responsible for killing large numbers of oak trees in Minnesota each year. It’s spread by insects and through root grafts from infected to healthy trees. Oak wilt disease is more severe and deadly to Red Oaks than to White Oaks and Bur Oaks. Ensure your oak trees are protected with preventative root flare injections provided by our team of plant health care technicians.
Dutch Elm Disease Treatment
Dutch elm disease is a fungal infection spread by elm bark beetles. If you notice leaves wilting or turning yellow midsummer, crown dieback, or woodpeckers feeding on certain parts of your tree, Dutch elm disease may be present. At Birch Tree Care, we provide root flare injections as a preventative measure to ensure your elm tree is protected.
Tree Pest Control
Pests can drastically affect the health and stability of your trees. While certain tree species are more susceptible to attacks from specific insects, such as ash trees and the destructive emerald ash borer, they can all be very damaging to your trees. Pests either feed on the foliage or burrow inside the tree and feed on the inner wood. Our arborists know how to control pests in your trees and how to prevent them from causing more harm in the future.
Emerald Ash Borer Treatment
Emerald ash borer infestations have devastated ash tree populations in Minnesota. If your leaves are losing color, have a thinning crown, woodpecker holes, or splits in the bark, it’s time to protect your trees from the disease. If Emerald Ash Borer is in your area, act proactively and contact our professional arborists for preventative treatment.
Japanese Beetle Treatment
The Japanese beetle is an invasive pest that causes damage by feeding on the leaves and flowers of many types of trees, plants, and shrubs. Common in Minnesota, Japanese beetles can cause significant damage to your plants and trees if left untreated.
Tree and Shrub Fertilization
Fertilization is vital to keeping your trees and shrubs healthy and beautiful. Well-nourished trees and shrubs are also more resilient against disease and insect infestations. Ask about our deep root fertilization and other fertilization options for trees.
Tree Consultation
Our expert arborists at Birch Tree Care know trees and care about keeping them healthy. Through our tree consultation services, get access to tree inventories, tree risk assessments, and advise on the preservation of trees, amongst other things. Our arborists don’t just take on a job; they look into all aspects of the tree environment, providing recommendations based on your needs and our professional advice.
Tree Risk Assessment
Although trees are a major part of the landscaping of your home, it is easy to miss signs of insect infestation and diseases due to lack of knowledge. Our ISA-certified arborists are trained to give you full tree reports, from tree risk assessments to establishing tree protection plans.
