SHRUB CARE
Shrub Disease Treatment
Shrub disease protection begins with a comprehensive inspection of your landscape by one of our ISA certified arborists. During this inspection, your arborist will be able to determine the overall health of the landscape and recommend appropriate disease or other treatments which can improve the condition of your trees and shrubs and preserve the vitality of your property.
Common Diseases on Shrubs
Fire blight is caused by the bacteria Erwinia amylovora, over 130 members of the Rosaceae family are susceptible, including; apple and crabapple, cotoneaster, firethorn, hawthorn, mountain ash, and pear. Infected leaves, stems, twigs and fruits will turn brown to black. Fire blight will blacken the smooth-barked, green branches and affected twigs develop a “shepherd’s crook”.
Needle, tip or twig blights occur on arborvitae, cypress and juniper species turning tips of twigs and ends of needles brown or grey. Black, pimple-like fungal fruiting structures may develop on needle surfaces. These blights can be caused by fungi in the genera Phompsis, Diplodia or Coryneum.
Cercospora species and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides are two of several fungi which cause leaf spot diseases on Rhododendron species and azalea cultivars. Small, irregular brown to black spots will appear on leaves, which will eventually drop prematurely, when infected by Cercospora spp. Lesions caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides are round, brown spots visible on both upper and lower surfaces of leaves. These fungal diseases may first appear as symptoms of winter desiccation.

"I didn't get a chance to tell you how wonderful the SavATree experience was at my home last week. As we went tree to tree that was trimmed, we admired the individual artistry and care that was applied to each tree and realized that it was 'exactly the amount' needed to be trimmed. My neighbor also raved about the professionalism of your crew, and how polite and considerate they were. Thank you!"

"During a terrible rain/wind storm, a huge, old, double oak tree split and came crashing down in my next door neighbor's driveway. I was given Brian Brunsch's number at SavATree. They did meticulous work. With the exception of the stump still remaining for insurance evaluation, it doesn't look like anything happened. A lesson that was learned is to have your trees monitored by a tree expert and SavATree is the company to call."

"I am a highly satisfied customer of SavATree. I have never had a tree company that gave me such fine service. I attribute this to my arborist, Scot Boyce. He won me for life as a customer. I asked him to come look at a [tree] that was shading my terrace and discuss pruning it, but when he saw how beautiful it was, he advised me to leave the tree alone - a loss of business for your company, but a long term investment in customer loyalty."
