In fact, it\u2019s quite possible a tree may show signs of disease even if it\u2019s a disease-resistant species. But the symptoms will likely be<strong> less severe, and the tree is more likely to make a full recovery<\/strong>.<\/p>    <p>It\u2019s also possible some trees may even be immune to certain diseases. But don\u2019t be fooled into thinking you\u2019re in the clear. <strong>No tree is immune to all diseases<\/strong>. Be sure to read the label carefully and choose what works best for your region.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>A tree that is <strong>susceptible<\/strong> means it\u2019s unlikely to stop or limit the damage caused by a particular disease.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p><strong>TIP: <\/strong>Look for trees native to your region. They are often naturally resistant to local diseases. Ultimately, when choosing disease-resistant trees, remember to have realistic expectations. Expect to have extreme weather conditions or a few nibbles from local pests. No plant and no season will be perfect.<\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"11-how-do-you-know-if-your-tree-has-a-disease\">How Do You Know If Your Tree Has a Disease?<\/h2>    <p>There are numerous signs that your tree has a disease, be sure to carefully evaluate your tree looking for these signs of distress or anything else that may seem concerning. Here are some of the things to look for:<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Root decay:<\/strong> Typically recognizable as fungal bodies growing on the ground around the roots or on the trunk.<\/li>    <li><strong>Lack of green under the bark:<\/strong> This may indicate an issue with the nutrient flow.<\/li>    <li><strong>Flaking or peeling bark: <\/strong>This could be a sign the tree isn\u2019t receiving enough nutrients.<\/li>    <li><strong>Rot or fungus on the trunk: <\/strong>Often, this is a sign of decay.<\/li>    <li><strong>Oozing sap or sawdust: <\/strong>A borer insect more often than not causes this kind of destruction.<\/li>    <li><strong>Brittle branches: <\/strong>This could be a sign a tree may have already succumbed to a disease.<\/li>    <li><strong>No leaves:<\/strong> Pests may have taken up residence in the tree if you are seeing a lack of leaves.<\/li>    <li><strong>Misshapen or discolored leaves:<\/strong> This could be a sign of root rot or an insect infestation.<\/li> <\/ul>    <p>If your tree is indeed showing signs of disease, don\u2019t write it off immediately. There may still be time to save your tree. Call a certified arborist to help diagnose the problem and come up with a treatment plan.&nbsp;<\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"12-what-do-you-do-if-your-tree-has-a-disease\">What Do You Do If Your Tree Has a Disease?<\/h2>    <p>The best thing to do if your tree has a disease is to call a certified arborist. They have an extensive knowledge base of tree biology and diagnostic skills. An arborist will be able to identify the disease, prescribe a treatment plan, and offer tips to prevent any further damage or future diseases.

Just like a person needs the proper nutrients to keep their body healthy, so does a tree. Adequate water, sunlight, and fertilization could mean the difference between life and death when a tree disease comes crawling across your yard.\u00a0<br\/><br\/>When choosing your trees, be sure to note how much sun and water they like, and maintain them accordingly. Be sure to understand <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/lawn-care-2\/ph-soil-test-lawn-grass\/\">soil pH<\/a> before pouring on the fertilizer, or you may do more harm than good.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1667000807543\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What happens to trees that survive an outbreak?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">After a pest or disease has made its way through a forest, scientists scour the wooded area looking for survivors. There may not be any, but if there are, they may hold clues that can aid scientists in developing treatments or more disease-resistant tree species. As more material about disease resistance becomes available you can check the <a href=\"https:\/\/rngr.net\/resources\/directory\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">national nursery and seed directory<\/a>.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1667000816206\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Is there anything I can do to help further the research?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Concerned citizens can contribute by downloading the free <a href=\"https:\/\/treesnap.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TreeSnap<\/a> app and tagging trees in their community, on their property, or out in the wild. Scientists then use the uploaded data to locate trees for future research projects.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"14-still-questioning-what-tree-is-best-for-you\">Still Questioning What Tree is Best for You?<\/h2>    <p>Choosing trees for landscaping can be a daunting task, if you\u2019re still not sure what type of tree, or how many, or even where on your property to plant, let us help connect you with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/landscaping\">local landscape professional<\/a>.<\/p>    <p>Main Image Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/42919152@N04\/6247805807\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Alvin Kho<\/a> \/ Flickr \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/2.0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CC BY-SA 2.0<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you concerned about introducing unwanted diseases or pests into your landscape with your next tree planting project?
