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

• Borers: Canopy thinning, branch dieback, exit holes, and frass (sawdust-like excrement) suggest an active infestation.
• Aphids: Early damage can cause leaf curling and growth distortion. Severe infestation may lead to twig die back and stunting.
• Scale: Stunted or yellowing leaves, sticky honeydew that can lead to sooty mold and canopy thinning or dieback. 

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. 

Some tree species, like birch, sycamore, silver maple, and redbud trees, naturally shed bark as they grow, while other species shed bark as a sign of disease, pests, or extreme temperature damage. If your tree has healthy-looking bark under the shed, then it’s usually safe. Read our blog to learn more about bark shedding.
