What You Need to Know
Northeast Ohio is home to a number of damaging diseases that injure, deform, and even kill trees and shrubs. Even with the best care, trees, shrubs, and other plants can become infected with harmful diseases (although proper care greatly reduces the chances of that happening!).
On this page, we share resources that will help you identify, prevent, and treat any diseases that do occur.
Common Tree Diseases
Treatment & Control Options
Timing is Critical
When a treatment is applied can make all the difference between suppressing or curing the disease that's affecting your tree and having no effect (or, even worse, having a negative impact on the tree's health).
Each disease has a specific timeframe during which treatment - either preventive or curative - is effective. Outside that timeframe, there's no point applying treatments.
Fungicides
Fungal diseases can spread quickly. Pre-emptive foliar treatments in early spring can prevent the production and spread of fungal spores, although they cannot "cure" the disease. Fungicides are applied only until about late May; treatments after that time can cause leaf scorch and are unlikely to be effective.
