TREAT COMMON PROBLEMS WITH HELP FROM OUR TREE EXPERTS

Give your trees the tender loving care they need! BA Robinson Tree Care will diagnose what’s affecting your tree and recommend the best treatment to save it when possible. Keep reading for additional information regarding a few common issues trees face in Southern Utah, Arizona, and Nevada.

TREE BARK INCLUSIONS

Where a junction forms in a tree and bark is incorporated into the joint, this is referred to as an “included bark junction” or “bark inclusion.” Such included bark junctions can be substantially weaker in strength than normal tree forks and can become a significant hazard in a tree, particularly when the bracing branches are shaded out or pruned out of the tree.

BORE BEETLE PEST CONTROL

Several species of bore beetles infest trees in Southern Utah, Arizona, and Nevada. These beetles eat trees from the inside out, weakening the tree’s structure. If the beetles are not controlled, eventually the tree won’t be able to support itself and become a safety hazard that will need to be removed. BA Robinson Tree Service provides bore control to help avoid the need for tree removal where possible.

TREE FUNGI AND DISEASES

Another issue that could affect trees from growing as they should are certain types of fungi and tree diseases. You may notice small holes or discoloration in leaves if a tree has become infected. In such cases, contaminated branches may need to be pruned, another service that BA Robinson Tree Service can provide.
