Tree Diseases: Keeping Trees Healthy in Your Home Landscape

Have you noticed early leaf drop from your maple, or spotting on your oak tree leaves? While some diseases pose serious risks if not identified and managed early, others may have minimal impact on a tree’s overall health. Join Steve Kristoph to learn how to recognize common diseases affecting ornamental trees, conifers, and shade trees and explore practical strategies to maintain their health and vitality.
