DISEASES IN TREES
Trees are vulnerable to diseases like every other living organism. Trees require a sufficient supply of carbon dioxide, water, light and other nutrients from their environment for growth and development. An inadequacy of any of these nutrients may reduce growth and stress out the trees. Where a tree becomes stressed, it may lack the energy needed to produce essential defences and may become prone to diseases. Diseased trees eventually die, and it is quite tricky diagnosing the initial cause. This difficulty arises from the complexity of problems that may not be easily traced. For instance, drought may cause a tree to weaken and then make it susceptible to fungal attack. Also, environmental factors like storm wounds, pollution or temperature can affect the tree. Other times, two or more diseases may be accumulated in the tree. Tree diseases are derived from fungi, viral or bacterial sources. info@valiantarborist.com
