CORAL TREE HEALTH ALERT 🚨

We are continuing to see Coral Stem Borer activity affecting Coral Trees throughout Santa Barbara and surrounding areas. This lesser-known pest can impact both young and mature trees, often causing branch dieback, canopy decline, and damage hidden within stems and branches.

If your Coral Tree appears stressed or is experiencing unusual dieback, it may be worth having it evaluated by a Certified Arborist.

For more information on this pest, visit the UC IPM article here:https://ipm.ucanr.edu/legacy_assets/PDF/PUBS/greenbulletin.2016.aprilmay.pdf

Lichens on tree bark are often misunderstood, but in most cases they are completely harmless. They are a natural part of the environment and typically indicate clean air and normal moisture conditions, not a disease! What matters more is the overall health of the tree!

If you’re noticing any of the following signs along with lichens, it may indicate an underlying issue:

• 🌿 Branch dieback
• 🪵 Bark separation
• 🌳 Canopy thinning
• 🍃 Reduced spring leaf-out

When these symptoms are present, a professional evaluation can help determine the best course of action to support long-term tree health. Contact us to book a consultation at 📞 805.967.7779 or visit our website to learn more!
