Types of Tree Diseases in Florida
Trees in South Florida can develop diseases that need professional attention. Diseases can kill trees or be passed on to other trees on your property or someone else’s property. These trees can become an unwanted risk and structurally unstable.
Our pruning services in Hialeah will protect your trees from total damage from diseases
Ideally, you will catch the disease early enough, so the tree only needs pruning rather than to be cut down entirely. Different diseases attack different parts of trees, such as the limbs, foliage, roots, or stems. The following are common tree diseases that occur throughout Florida:
- Annosus Root Disease is a fungus that affects pine trees.
- Brown Spot Needle Blight is also a fungus that primarily affects long needle pines.
- Fusiform Rust is a destructive disease caused by a fungus.
- Ganoderma is a pathogen that attacks root systems.
- Laurel Wilt is a fungus introduced by the ambrosia beetle.
- Oak Wilt is caused by a fungal pathogen.
- Westwood and Slime Flux cause significant trunk rot in hardwoods.
Any of these tree diseases need immediate attention before they cause serious problems.
Common Insect Problems in Florida Trees
Almost 400 different bugs and insects live in Florida, and some of them attack, infest, and kill trees. Some of them kill trees directly, while others introduce disease, and still, others strip off bark and leaves. You must control the following insects and bugs or your trees will suffer the consequences.
Tree pests can be controlled by a pruning service.
- Asian Citrus Psyllids lay eggs on fruit or leaves, and the larvae eat buds and leaves. They carry a bacterium that affects tree sap and prevents nutrients from circulating well.
- Dogwood Borers lay eggs on tree bark, and the larvae enter tree wounds. They find their way into living wood and can cause serious issues.
- Red Spider Mites and Aphids attack flowering fruit and deciduous trees. They lay eggs that become larvae that suck fluids from leaf cells and eat tree sap.
- Tent Caterpillars are moths that wrap silk around tree branches. They lay eggs in trees that result in larvae that feed on buds, flowers, and leaves. Typically, they do not kill trees, but they do leave them vulnerable to other pests and diseases.
- Pine Bark Beetles accumulate on weakened trees and lay their eggs in the inner bark. The larvae eat the bark and reproduce within it.
