At The Tree Daddy, we believe healthy trees are the foundation of a thriving landscape. Our Plant Health Care (PHC) program is designed to proactively monitor, treat, and protect your trees and shrubs from pests, diseases, and nutrient deficiencies that threaten their vitality. Learn more about the common threats we manage and how our tailored services can keep your trees in top condition.
Dutch Elm Disease
Dutch Elm Disease (DED) is a deadly fungal infection spread by elm bark beetles. It blocks water movement in the tree, causing leaves to wilt and branches to die. Our team provides monitoring, fungicidal injections, and sanitation pruning to help prevent and control outbreaks.
Japanese Beetle
These invasive pests feed on the foliage of many tree species, skeletonizing leaves and weakening plant health. We offer targeted treatments and cultural control methods to minimize damage and reduce beetle populations.
Emerald Ash Borer (EAB)
EAB is a highly destructive beetle that has devastated ash trees across North America. Early detection is crucial. We provide systemic insecticide injections that protect healthy trees and slow infestation progression.
Mites, Bagworms & Scale on Evergreens
Evergreens are particularly vulnerable to a range of pests:
Spider mites can cause needle browning and defoliation.
Bagworms construct silk bags and feed aggressively on foliage.
Scale insects drain sap and leave behind sticky residue.
We offer seasonally timed treatments to interrupt pest life cycles and restore evergreen vitality.
Fertilizer Program
Trees growing in urban or landscaped environments often suffer from nutrient deficiencies. Our customized fertilization program replenishes essential nutrients, promotes root development, and enhances resistance to pests and diseases. We use deep root feeding techniques for maximum effectiveness.
Anthracnose & Cedar Apple Rust
Anthracnose is a fungal disease that affects leaves, causing blotches, distortion, and premature drop.
Cedar Apple Rust cycles between cedar and apple/crabapple trees, causing leaf spots and deformation.
Our PHC team provides disease diagnosis, fungicide applications, and pruning strategies to mitigate and prevent these common infections.
