Phytophthora Canker Management

The Symptoms

What to look for:

Weeping, dark spots on the trunk (often reddish-brown or black) that may ooze sap. These infections are commonly found near the base of the trunk and are highly associated with poor drainage or standing water.

Management Protocol

1. Diagnosis & Assessment

Our certified arborists inspect the tree to confirm the presence of the pathogen or pest, evaluate the overall vigor of the tree, and determine the safest path forward based on your landscape's unique needs.

2. Monitoring

Because every property is different, we develop a flexible monitoring schedule. We consistently evaluate the tree's health over time to ensure any underlying issues are managed effectively before they become critical hazards.
