FAQs About Tree Diseases and Pests 

Want to keep your trees healthy and vibrant? Learn about common tree pests and diseases, and what you can do to prevent them in our FAQ section.

Some of the most common tree pests in our area include aphids, scale insects, emerald ash borers, and spotted lanternflies. These pests, among others, can cause a wide range of problems such as defoliation, weakened branches, and even tree death.

It’s important to note, that as temperatures rise and weather patterns shift, we may see an increase in the prevalence and severity of these pests, as well as new pests in our area that we need to keep an eye out for.

Central Virginia’s diverse ecosystem supports a variety of trees, but unfortunately, it also provides ideal conditions for several common tree diseases, such as laurel wilt anthracnose, thousand cankers disease, powdery mildew, and beech leaf disease.

The emerald ash borer is responsible for killing millions of ash trees across the United States. While there is no foolproof method to prevent an infestation, regular inspections, being cautious when moving firewood, and considering professional treatments to prevent the spread of this pest can help protect Virginia’s trees.

The spotted lanternfly is an invasive pest that poses a significant threat to various plants, including trees. This insect feeds on plant sap, causing damage to leaves, stems, and fruit. It also produces large amounts of honeydew, which can lead to mold growth and attract other pests.

While no tree species is completely immune to pests and diseases, some are more resistant than others. Native tree species are often better adapted to local conditions and may possess natural defenses against certain threats. However, even native trees can be affected by pests and diseases, especially under stressful conditions.

Several practices can help prevent tree diseases and pests, including:

  • Proper care: Provide your trees with adequate water, sunlight, and nutrients.
  • Regular inspections: Monitor your trees for signs of problems, such as unusual leaf discoloration, insect activity, or cankers.
  • Pruning: Remove dead, diseased, or damaged branches to improve air circulation and sunlight penetration.
  • Sanitation: Clean up fallen leaves and debris to reduce the spread of diseases and pests.
  • Tree Injections: Use tree applicable injections as a preventative measure in areas with known infestations.

Remember, early detection and treatment are key to managing tree health issues. Consulting with a certified arborist is the best way to receive expert advice and tailored solutions for your specific situation.
