Mid-July in Memphis means heat, humidity, and the pest and disease pressure that comes with it. Several of the most damaging tree conditions in the Mid-South are actively spreading right now, and many homeowners don't recognize the signs until significant damage has already occurred.
In our area, watch for yellowing or browning leaves that shouldn't be turning yet, unusual spots or fungal growth on bark and leaves, soft or spongy wood near the base of a tree, and early leaf drop on oaks and other hardwoods. These can signal anything from fungal disease to root damage to insect infestation, and each requires a different response.
Spruce Up Tree Care's ISA-certified arborists provide comprehensive pest and disease control services tailored to the trees that grow in Memphis, Cordova, Lakeland, and throughout Fayette County. Early intervention is almost always less expensive and more effective than waiting until the problem advances.
If you've noticed something unusual on your trees this summer, now is the right time to get a professional look at what's going on.
