Tree Tip Tuesday: Top 3 Tree Pests in Southeast Michigan Homeowners Should Watch For

Tree health in Southeast Michigan is constantly under pressure from destructive insects that can spread quickly if left untreated. Here are three of the most common pests impacting local landscapes right now:

• Emerald Ash Borer – One of the most damaging tree pests in Michigan history, targeting ash trees and often causing rapid decline
• Spongy Moth (formerly Gypsy Moth) – Known for defoliating oaks and weakening trees through repeated feeding cycles
• Japanese Beetle – Feeds on leaves of many common trees and shrubs, leaving skeletonized foliage behind

Early detection is key. If you’re noticing thinning canopies, chewed leaves, or unusual browning, it may be time to have your trees treated before the damage spreads.

Tre Tip Tuesday: Summer Watering Tip for Newly Planted Trees

Newly planted trees need extra attention during Michigan's summer heat. A deep watering 1–2 times per week is much more effective than frequent light watering.

-Water slowly at the base of the tree
-Soak the root zone 8–12 inches deep
-Water in the early morning when possible
-Keep 2–3 inches of mulch around the tree to help retain moisture

Watch for signs of stress such as wilting leaves, leaf scorch, or premature leaf drop. Giving your young trees the right amount of water now helps establish strong roots and promotes healthy growth for years to come.
