In Milwaukee, the best time to prune most trees is during late winter to early spring, before new growth begins. Pruning during this dormant season helps trees heal quickly, reduces stress, and lowers the risk of disease or pest infestation. 

In Milwaukee, some of the most common tree pests and diseases include Apple Scab, Scale Insects, and Zimmerman Pine Moth. Here are signs and symptoms of how these pests and diseases can affect your trees. 

• Apple Scab: Symptoms include olive-green to black velvety leaf spots that can cause early drop, and matching fruit lesions that later turn brown and corky.
• Scale Insects: Scale infestations cause small, yellow-mottled leaves, canopy thinning, leaf drop, branch dieback, and possible plant death. 
• Zimmerman Pine Moth: Once a year, newly hatched larvae tunnel into trees, disrupting sap flow and weakening them. Eventually the tops can break in the wind.

A Plant Health Care (PHC) Program is a proactive, year-round plan to keep your trees and shrubs healthy and pest-free. Our certified arborists focus on prevention and early detection by monitoring soil health, nutrients, insects, and disease. Based on your property’s needs, we create a customized care plan that may include fertilization, pest management, pruning, and soil improvement.
