Tip of the Month for February: There’s A Fungus Among Us!

tipofthemonth-february

Spring is almost here.  We all welcome the warmth that spring brings, but with the warmth comes a hidden enemy to our landscape…there is fungus among us!  Fungal disease is an extremely common ailment to our trees in Indiana.  Disease cycles intensify with warm, dry days followed by cool, damp nights.  Many species of plants are susceptible to fungal infection.  The more common infections are those of the crabapples, hawthorns, and other flowering ornamentals.  Symptoms are spots or fruiting bodies on the leaf surface or twigs.  If you have had fungal disease problems in the past, give us a call promptly.  There is a small window of opportunity to treat fungal disease; fungicide applications are effective only in early spring.  Give us a call for a positive diagnosis and correct treatment today.
