When trees are in their natural environment they generally do well at adapting to stresses including pests and diseases. The problems usually begin when nature and the urban environment come in close contact with one another. Many of the problems we see are cultural, such as over watering, poor planting methods, soil quality, choice of location, improper fertilization etc. When a tree problem arises, we recommend having a professional arborist diagnose the problem. Although we prefer to treat pest and disease problems through cultural methods it is sometimes necessary to apply chemical treatment to control the problem. Arbortech provides a broad spectrum of choices that include both cultural and chemical treatment. Let one of our staff of Arborists or (PHC) Plant Health Care specialists design a program that will work for your particular needs.
