Pecan trees can be destroyed quickly by pecan phylloxera insect infestation. These aphid-like insects target stressed and weak trees, reproduce rapidly and are able to decimate an entire annual nut production if treatment is not administered early. Wart-like bumps appear on infested foliage and the tree exhibits premature defoliation, branches falling, new growth reduction and dead branches. This insect problem normally does not result in death to the tree; however, infested trees become more prone to other tree diseases and insect pests. Do not hesitate in contacting an experienced tree company when your pecan trees manifest these symptoms or exhibit signs of a sick tree.
Diagnosing Pecan Phylloxera
Diagnostic procedures are expedited by our ISA certified arborist. The infested tree is examined for pecan phylloxera presence and tree foliage tissue is analyzed, as these insects overwinter and feed upon the tissue. Pecan phylloxera normally appears between April and June as Texas weather is warming so the outdoor grounds are closely inspected. A diagnosis report is provided after a thorough investigation. Pecan phylloxera is rampant in Fort Worth so an arborist that treats sick trees administers the specific treatment needed and provides a one year warranty for any treatment. The arbor care professional customizes a continual tree health care maintenance program to ensure your residential outdoor environment and stately trees always remain in the best of health.
Pecan Phylloxera Treatment and Solutions
A professional tree removal company must immediately remove and destroy all severely infested trees, dead branches, and ground debris to aid in eliminating the insects and their larvae. Regular pruning by a tree pruning service eliminates infested branches and reduces the pecan phylloxera. Insecticide applications are successful when scheduled and administered by a tree doctor. Deep root fertilization is an important tree health care treatment that boosts the vitality of your trees by 95% when administered annually. The highly-specialized tree expert injects under pressure the specific liquid nutrients the tree needs directly into its root zone and soil aeration occurs from the injected oxygen. Your trees are valuable investments and must be protected.
