Insect and Disease Management

Ideally we keep our trees as healthy as possible through proper cultural practices to prevent them from becoming susceptible to insects and diseases. Insects and disease are secondary issues.

Sometimes trees and shrubs become stressed and as a result, may become infected with insects and disease.

There reaches a point where it may be desirable to control these pests. There are a number of environmentally friendly ways of controlling insects and disease such as dormant oil, horticultural soaps, BT, natural predators, and tree injections. However, the best way to combat this problem is to be proactive and keep trees healthy and vigorous to prevent insects and disease from becoming an issue.
