Tree diseases can severely impact the health and longevity of the trees on your property. While Omaha is home to a variety of tree species, they are not immune to common diseases that can spread rapidly if left untreated. Knowing what to look for is the first step to maintaining healthy trees, and Amanco Tree Services is here to help you identify and address these issues.
Here are a few common tree diseases in Omaha:
- Dutch Elm Disease: This fungal disease primarily affects elm trees and can lead to the tree’s death if untreated. Look for yellowing leaves and wilting branches, especially during the growing season. Our experts can assess and, if needed, remove affected trees to prevent the spread of this disease.
- Oak Wilt: Oak wilt is a deadly disease that affects oak trees, causing leaf discoloration and eventual death. Early intervention is key, and Amanco can help diagnose and manage the spread through careful pruning or tree removal.
- Apple Scab: Affecting crabapple trees, this fungal disease causes brown or yellow spots on leaves, eventually leading to premature leaf drop. While not always fatal, it can weaken the tree over time. We offer treatments that target apple scab and help maintain tree health.
- Anthracnose: This disease causes leaf spots, wilting, and premature leaf drop in a variety of tree species, including sycamores and maples. Anthracnose can weaken trees, making them more vulnerable to other issues, but with proper care, Amanco can help mitigate its effects.
Our professional are trained to identify these diseases and recommend the best course of action. Whether it’s targeted pruning, treatment applications, or complete removal, Amanco Tree Services is equipped to handle all aspects of tree disease management.
