PLANT HEALTH CARE

 

Plant health care is a quickly becoming a necessity in the urban forest. Every year invasive insects, plants and disease find their way to the US and are causing substantial damage. Over the years we have lost thousands of trees due to Dutch Elm Disease, Two Lined Chestnut Borer, Oak Wilt, just to name a few. Now, in South Central Wisconsin we are feeling the effects of the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) as well. Luckily, just about all of the damage on trees from insects and disease is preventable with proper care and treatment.
