FORT WORTH'S PREMIER TREE HEALTH CARE AND ARBORICULTURE PROFESSIONAL SERVICE COMPANY!
If you have a green thumb, one of your biggest priorities is to keep your plants and trees as healthy as possible. But with many living things, plants and trees can be susceptible to illness and disease. Every area of your plants or trees can be affected, but the most commonly affected areas are the leaves. One of the most prevalent diseases that can occur on your plant’s leaves is leaf spot.
Leaf spot is a type of leaf disease but isn’t just one type of plant disease; the term leaf spot is used to describe several different types of plant diseases. They are characterized as small, round spots found on the surface of leaves. The spots can either be brown, yellow, or black depending on the type of fungus that has infected the leaves. If you think you might have leaf spot on your plants, call Fort Worth Arborist Co. today! You can reach us at 817-975-0180 in order to get professional leaf spot treatment in Fort Worth, TX.
Leaf spot is mostly caused by a fungus, but can also be caused by bacteria infestation, drought, chemicals, or even insect damage. However, the most common reason is almost always fungal. For leaf spot to occur, it has to be warm and wet. Fungal spores float around in the air, finding plants that are warm and wet. In order for the fungus to incubate, it requires moisture. When there is a lot of rain, it’s easy for fungal spores to thrive on plants, which in turn causes leaf spots. If you have noticed for the last couple of years that your leaves turn yellow, then brown, then fall off, you might want to call us for our leaf spot treatment in Fort Worth, TX.
While there is no cure for leaf spot, there are ways to prevent it from happening. At Fort Worth Arborist Co. our management and treatment of leaf spot go to the root of the problem first. Our first step will always be to remove leaves or areas that have leaf spot; older leaves can infect new leaves, so it’s important to prune and remove affected leaves. For safety precautions, we will spray fungicides. Fungicide does not cure already infected areas, but removing those areas and then spraying fungicide will prevent any reemergence. When you call us for leak spot treatment in Fort Worth, TX, we are able to give you helpful maintenance tips in order to keep leaf spot from appearing again, as well as provide yearly maintenance. If you are interested in working with our professional arborists or need sick tree or plan help, give us a call at 817-975-0180.
