In Raleigh, 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 Raleigh, some of the most common tree pests and diseases include Scale Insects, Aphids, and Bagworms. Here are signs and symptoms of how these pests and diseases can affect your trees. 

• Scale Insects: Stunted or yellowing leaves, sticky honeydew that can lead to sooty mold, and thinning or dieback in the canopy.
• Mites: Leaf curling and distorted new growth, similar to herbicide damage. Severe Aphid feeding can lead to twig dieback and stunting.
• Aphids: Heavy bagworm infestations can fully defoliate trees. Infested evergreens may not regrow, and affected branches often die. 

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.
