Tree and Shrub Care – inavalelawnandtree.com

OurTree/Shrub care program includes insect and disease controls as well as balanced fertilization for your valuable plantings.Above ground indications of insect infestations are the visible presence of insect bodies (aphids, scale), holes in the leaves (weevils ), yellowish leaves (spider mites), browning of the leaves (leaf miners) etc. In many cases the damage occurs below ground (root weevil larvae), at night (caterpillars) or inside the plant (borers) and the only symptoms are overall weakened or yellowish appearing plants. We know how to recognize these problems and provide treatment in the early stages, to keep your plants healthy. Its a lot more effective to keep the plants healthy than to try and revive an ailing plant. The treatments we provide are targeted to those plants that have a problem or potential for problems.

Plant diseases can either be external (mildew, leaf spots) or internal, spreading systemically throughout the plant (Phytopthora, Pseudomonus). The organisms that cause plant diseases are primarily fungi, bacteria and viruses. As with our insect control, we only treat plants that have a problem or potential for problems. The disease control treatments act as barriers to infection and are best applied on a preventative basis. Most diseases spread more rapidly in moist environments. As new leaves unfurl and older leaves expand, new areas are susceptible to infection. Our programs are designed around these factors, with treatments spaced more closely together in the moist spring and farther apart during the drier summer.

We use polymer coated, granular fertilizers for your shrubs that enhance blooms and encourage strong roots and healthy shoots. The coating provides for uniform distribution of nutrients throughout the growing season. In the fall we deep root feed your trees and larger shrubs. This involves inserting a probe into the root zone to apply the fertilizers where they will be most effective.
