In San Antonio, 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 San Antonio, some of the most common tree pests and diseases include Oak Wilt, Bagworms, and Borers. Here are signs and symptoms of how these pests and diseases can affect your trees. 

• Oak Wilt: Sudden wilting, early leaf drop, and sapwood discoloration are key symptoms. In red oaks, the disease progresses rapidly, causing full defoliation and death within weeks to months.
• Bagworms: Heavy bagworm infestations can fully defoliate trees. Evergreens may not regrow, and affected branches often die.
• Borers: Canopy thinning, branch dieback, exit holes, and frass signal severe borer infestations, often indicating a tree is near death.

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. 

Yes! Mulch significantly reduces evaporation, helping landscapes retain moisture longer between waterings—especially important in Texas's climate. Learn more about the benefits of mulching in our blog.

For best results, apply 2–3 inches of organic mulch around the tree, keeping it a few inches away from the trunk. Proper mulch installation is essential for the long-term health of your trees and plants. Contact your local San Antonio Davey office for professional mulch installation and expert guidance.
