Regular Shrub & Tree Health Preventative Treatments Avoid Costly Damage & Preserve Beauty

Trees and shrubs offer an aesthetic appeal to properties. The shade they provide combines with the earthy colors and blooms to give a welcoming feel to homes and businesses. However, when it comes to keeping them healthy, preventative treatment is key.

Damage from insects and plant disease spread and fester, and worsen if neglected. Our experts provide regular inspection of your shrubs and trees to determine if insects or disease are taking hold.

Invasive insects feed on leaves and bark and prevent proper growth. In some cases, trees can eventually defoliate and become bare as a result. Once a plant has lost vitality it becomes an eyesore and may lead a homeowner to consider replanting, which can be expensive and time-consuming.

Common Plant Diseases in Our Area, When They Appear, & How They Spread

Most plant diseases are caused by bacteria, fungi, and viruses, which can multiply in a matter of minutes! They spread in a variety of ways, including from infected seeds, contact with other plants, and even through root systems. The result is often blight, leaf spots, rotting fruit, wilts, and galls. We can identify and treat plant diseases found in Spokane and neighboring communities like Spokane Valley and Liberty Lake, WA, and provide scheduled treatments against them.

Below are details about just a few of the common plant diseases/fungi in our area:

• Lecanium Scale - Round scaly organisms that feed on sap, begin development during the winter and feed during the summer. Spreading occurs when leaves are shed.
• Black Spot - Appear as yellow-ringed black spots on leaves. They grow during the spring and spread via wind and water.
• Powdery Mildew - Causes a white, powdery fungal growth on leaves. Spreads via insects feeding in infected areas. Most growth occurs in low humidity and mild temperatures.
• Plant Rust - Fungal infection causes white, raised spots followed by orange masses. Most visible during fall.
