To diagnose tree issues, carefully observe symptoms that may indicate diseases or insect infestations. Watch the video below as Jim Ostvig, owner of Ostvig Tree Care, talks about how Ostvig Tree identifies tree diseases and issues.
When it comes to diagnosing tree issues, it’s essential to observe specific symptoms that can indicate diseases or insect infestations. For instance, if you notice your oak tree exhibiting signs like wilting leaves and discoloration, it may be indicative of oak wilt. In such cases, it’s advisable to take a sample of the affected tree to a testing facility, such as the University of Minnesota, for a definitive diagnosis.
Similarly, if you spot insects on your tree’s leaves, it could be a clear indication of an aphid infestation. In most cases, insect problems can be detected visually. While some diseases can be diagnosed on-site, others require laboratory testing to identify the specific fungus or pathogen affecting the tree. Therefore, it’s crucial to consult experts and seek professional help when necessary to accurately diagnose and address any potential tree issues.
