TREE DISEASES

Juniper-Hawthorn Rust

Thousands of Satisfied customers

I called Birch to have a hornets nest removed from under my overhang. Not only did they remove a very large nest with very angry wasps, but while they were explaining what they did, they noticed an ant nest on my patio that they quickly took care of!

Haleem has been coming here for a number of years. He is always on time, courteous and efficient. It is a pleasure to have him take care of our rodent and insect problems. I would highly recommend him and Birch Fumigators' for all your pest related issues.

We have an older home and have had problems with mice for years. We now have an ongoing service contract set up with Birch and Haleem has been taking great care of us. Mice are no longer a problem. Can't say enough about the great service we have had!

Had a carpenter ant problem in my basement walls and outside my home. I chose to go with Birch Fumigators because Brian was knowledgeable, professional, friendly and he answered all my questions with honesty and integrity. Their pricing is fair, and Im very satisfied knowing that the carpenter ants are all gone!!!! I would highly recommend Birch Fumigators.

I have used Birch for all my issues with pests at my rental properties. Their techs has always been professional and they do take care of the problem. The techs are even willing to talk to you in detail about the problem, what they are doing to deal with it and how to prevent it. I have never had any problems with them and have always found them professional and responsive. Would definitely continue to use them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Trees can show subtle and obvious signs of poor health. Recognizing these early warning signals can help prevent serious damage and increase the chances of saving the tree. If you notice any of the following symptoms, it may be time to consult a professional arborist for an assessment.

Common Signs of an Unhealthy Tree

1. Abnormal Leaf Drop or Wilting

Trees naturally shed leaves in the fall, but early or excessive leaf drop can indicate stress.
Wilting or curling leaves may suggest drought stress, root damage, or disease.
Leaves that fail to grow in spring could be a sign of root issues or environmental stressors.

2. Discolored or Damaged Foliage

Yellowing leaves (chlorosis) may indicate a nutrient deficiency, root damage, or soil issues.
Brown, scorched, or dead patches on leaves may be caused by drought, fungal infections, or chemical exposure.
Spotted or disfigured leaves could be a sign of a fungal disease like anthracnose.

3. Unusual Growth Patterns

Sparse or stunted growth may indicate poor soil conditions, pest infestations, or disease.
Sudden leaning or instability suggests root damage or structural weakness.
Excessive sprouting at the base of the trunk (known as epicormic shoots) often signals tree stress.

4. Visible Pests and Disease

Holes in the bark or wood dust around the base may indicate boring insects.
Sticky residue (honeydew) and sooty mold on leaves can be caused by aphids or scale insects.
Fungal growths, like mushrooms at the base, often suggest root rot.

5. Cracks, Cavities, or Bark Damage

Deep cracks or missing bark expose the tree to disease and pests.
Soft, decaying wood inside cavities can indicate internal rot.
Excessive peeling bark might suggest insect infestation or environmental stress.

6. Root and Soil Problems

Exposed or damaged roots may weaken the tree’s stability.
Water pooling around the base could lead to root rot.
Sudden branch dieback often results from root damage.

When to Contact a Professional

If you notice any of these signs, early intervention is key to saving your tree. A certified arborist can:

Conduct a thorough tree health assessment.
Identify pests, diseases, or environmental stressors.
Recommend treatment options such as pruning, soil amendments, or pest control.
