BLOG Tree Health Assessment: How J&S Tree Services Diagnoses and Treats Tree Diseases Jul 02, 2024

As a homeowner, it’s essential to take care of your trees to ensure they thrive and remain healthy for years to come. At J&S Tree Services, we understand the importance of tree health and offer comprehensive tree health assessment services to diagnose and treat tree diseases effectively.

When it comes to tree health assessment, our team of certified arborists at J&S Tree Services follows a systematic approach to identify any issues affecting your trees. Here’s how we diagnose and treat tree diseases to keep your trees in optimal condition:

1. Visual Inspection: The first step in our tree health assessment process is a thorough visual inspection of the tree. Our arborists examine the tree’s leaves, branches, trunk, and overall structure to look for any signs of disease, pest infestations, or other issues. Common signs of tree diseases include discolored leaves, unusual spots or growths, wilting, or dead branches.

2. Testing and Analysis: In some cases, visual inspection alone may not be enough to diagnose the exact cause of the tree’s health problems. Our arborists may conduct additional testing, such as soil analysis or lab tests, to determine the specific pathogens or issues affecting the tree. This detailed analysis helps us tailor our treatment plan to address the root cause of the problem.

3. Disease Identification: Once we have gathered all the necessary information through visual inspection and testing, our arborists can accurately identify the type of disease or issue affecting the tree. Common tree diseases include Dutch Elm disease, Oak Wilt, Anthracnose, and Emerald Ash Borer infestations. Each disease requires a targeted treatment approach to effectively manage and control its spread.

4. Treatment Plan: Based on our findings, we develop a customized treatment plan to address the tree’s specific health issues. Our treatment options may include pruning, fertilization, insecticide applications, or fungicide treatments, depending on the type and severity of the disease. We prioritize environmentally friendly and sustainable solutions to protect the tree, surrounding vegetation, and wildlife.

5. Ongoing Monitoring: At J&S Tree Services, we believe in proactive tree care to prevent future diseases and maintain your trees’ health long-term. After implementing the treatment plan, our arborists will continue to monitor the tree’s progress and make any necessary adjustments to ensure its recovery. Regular tree health assessments can help identify potential problems early and mitigate the risk of severe damage.
