Summer is a great time to assess the health of your trees and shrubs
Summer brings heightened risk of mite, scale, and disease activity in landscape plants. Monitoring for leaf discoloration, branch dieback, boring insects, and premature leaf drop is the first step in protecting tree health.

by Jeremy D. Slone, PhD
Armored and soft scales are common pests on deciduous and coniferous trees and shrubs, reducing plant vigor and causing canopy dieback. Soft scale infestations also produce honeydew, leading to sooty mold growth on affected surfaces.

Lichen and trees
