"tree care, because we care"
Blight
blight is usually cause by fungi that stop the tree from efficently absorbing light or processing nutrients a copper based fungiside is usually the best cause of action but it will need regular maintenance for the next 2 growing seasons before it will recover fully
Wilt
Is usually caused by a soil-bourne fungus or bacteria. wilt cannon be cured but airaiting and fetralising the soil can promote root growth and over time the tree may be able to re-gain it strength
Rust
rust is caused by a fungus that thrives under the bark of trees it can first be seen attacking the leaves and can be cured by cutting off the infected branches
wet wood
wetwood is caused by a bacteria that causes the trees cell to over saturate this leads to weeping wounds on the bark. a bore hole can help drain the bacteria and fertalising the soil to restore nutrients back into the tree can help the tree to recover for its-self but there is no certain cure
Galls
galls are abnormal growths on the leaves or twigs that can be caused by and incest or parasitic fungus that are feeding on the tree if it is a fungal infection the the cure will be a copper and sulpher based spray applied throughout the growing season or if it is mite then a aphid targeted insecticide one a month should clear the infestation
