Arbor Care

06/14/2026

Two of the most damaging pests we see every summer are already showing up across our area.

Japanese beetles feed on leaves and flowers, skeletonizing plants and weakening overall growth.

Bagworms start small but can quickly devastate evergreens like Arborvitae, Leyland Cypress, and Juniper.

At AC Plant & Turf, our Plant Care Program includes:

✅ A systemic insecticide drench to reduce Japanese beetle damage
✅ Contact insecticide applications after bagworms hatch
✅ Routine monitoring to catch issues early

If you’re already on a program—you’re covered!
If not, now’s the time to act before the damage sets in.

⚠️ Prunicola Scale Alert ⚠️

We're seeing a significant increase in Prunicola Scale activity throughout our area.

This tiny sap-feeding insect can quickly cause:
🍃 Yellowing foliage
🌿 Stunted growth
🌳 Branch dieback
❌ Overall plant decline

One of the biggest challenges with Prunicola Scale is that damage often isn't noticed until the infestation has become well established. Look closely for small white bumps or fuzzy white patches on stems and branches.

Early detection and treatment are critical to protecting your landscape investment.

If your trees aren't looking their best, now is the time to have them inspected before the problem worsens.

☀️ Drought Stress Is Already Showing Up Across Our Area

Even with some recent rainfall, we're already seeing signs of drought stress in lawns throughout our region.

Watch for:
• Dull blue-gray color
• Footprints that remain visible after walking on the lawn
• Thinning turf
• Slow growth and recovery

How Much Should You Water?

Most lawns need 1 to 1.5 inches of water per week, including rainfall.

✅ Water deeply and early in the morning
✅ Aim for 4-5 watering days per week during these dry conditions
✅ Measure rainfall and irrigation to ensure proper coverage

With drought conditions continuing across our area, staying ahead of your lawn's watering needs now can help prevent more significant stress as we move into the heat of summer.

If you have questions about your lawn or irrigation practices, we're here to help.
