🐛🦠 Pests or disease?
They can look similar at first, but there are a few quick clues that point you in the right direction.
Common pest signs:
✅ Chewed leaves or holes
✅ Sticky residue or black soot-like buildup on leaves
✅ Webbing, clusters, or visible insects
✅ Sawdust-like material near bark
Common disease signs:
✅ Spots, blotches, or unusual patterns on leaves
✅ Wilting even when watering seems normal
✅ Branch dieback starting at tips
✅ Mushrooms or fungus growth near the base or on the trunk
The best next step is a proper diagnosis. CM Precision has an ISA Certified Arborist for tree health assessments and a Qualified Applicator License to apply treatments for insects, fungal issues, and fertilization when appropriate.
