In Charlotte, 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 Charlotte, some of the most common tree pests and diseases include Gloomy Scale, Crape Myrtle Bark Scale, and Bleeding Canker. Here are signs and symptoms of how these pests and diseases can affect your trees. 

• Gloomy Scale: Gloomy scale produces one generation per year. Heavily infested tree bark darkens and develops a bumpy texture.
• Crape Myrtle Bark Scale: Initial feeding causes aesthetic damage, reducing plant vigor and foliage growth as insects drain sap from vascular tissue. 
• Bleeding Canker: The most noticeable sign is dark sap oozing from bark cankers. Bleeding canker kills surface tissues, turning the inner sapwood dark red.

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.
