\u2776 Elm Disease<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

In the early 1900\u2019s, oversea shipments brought in non-native\nbeetles. Today, these beetles like to burrow into a variety of elm trees, and\ntake down the plant fast.  Elms that are\nalready infected with a fungal disease are even easier for these Dutch beetles\nto invade, making them popular targets. \nIf the leaves of an Elm tree begin to turn yellow, or die, right before\nFall, it could be a sign of elm disease. \nIn this case, the tree would need to be treated; otherwise tree removal\nis the only option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2777 Heart Rot<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

This disease attacks hardwood trees.  The name basically describes the signs of a\ntree with this condition.  The disease\nbegins to weaken the tree\u2019s structure and stability from within; all while\ncause branches to weaken and break as well. \nThis can be potentially dangerous for any structure or person near this type\nof infected tree.  Mushroom caps and\nfungus are common hints of heart rot as well. \nTreatment is possible, but very complicated.  Expert pruning and dead wooding could save a\nrotting hardwood tree.  Basically, it is\nimportant to promote as much healthy growth as possible through pruning and\ndead wooding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2778 Oak Wilt<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Insects or root graphs carry this disease to trees.\u00a0 It is much deadlier than heart rot, but has the same effect.\u00a0 One the spores have entered the tree it can take as little as six months to kill the host completely.\u00a0 Oak Wilt cannot be treated, but it can be detected and prevented.\u00a0 Any tree near the infected tree runs risk to the disease as well.\u00a0 Professional tree services can properly prune and seal wounds to rid the tree of Oak Wilt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2779 Chestnut Blight<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

When a tree becomes infected with Chestnut Blight, it is\nsimilar to when humans become infected with small pox.  American Chestnut Trees were near extinction\nin the early 1900\u2019s because of this infection. \nSigns that include, cankers and orange-brown stains on the bark can\nindicate Chestnut Blight Disease. \nTreatment involves chemical tree injections, so professional assistance\nis highly advised in this situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
