What causes Leaf Spots to Become Visible?
 
Leaf spot is a common disease that tree care specialists across Fort Worth come across. This general term refers to a collection of illnesses that cause dark unsightly spots to appear on trees or plants. Leaf spot is usually caused by fungal pathogens such as anthracnose and powdery mildew. However, it can also be caused or exacerbated by bacteria. Leaf spots can occur in many different ways, so it's not uncommon to have this issue with your trees or plants.
 
All types of leaf spot require the same thing: pathogens must live in moist and humid conditions, which is common during the spring season in North Texas. The fungus is found in dead leaves, twigs, and infected soil throughout winter. However, it manifests itself in the spring when small black dots measuring less than 1/2 inches begin to cover diseased foliage. Sometimes, large numbers of spots can become so numerous they appear as large blotches or overlays on the leaf. Leaf spot is a rapidly growing problem if it's not dealt with immediately. Therefore, it is crucial that you get in touch with an experienced tree company immediately when you begin to notice spots on the tree.
 
Diagnosing Leaf Spots
An experienced plant pathologist quickly will perform diagnostic testing to rule out leaf spot disease. He also examines the outdoor environment and leaves. The presence of dark spots around the leaves is an indication that there is a disease. Leaf spot infestation can be confirmed by large blotches on the leaves and brown dead areas. Infected trees can lose their foliage early and become thinner.
 
Wet soil can promote the rapid spread of this optically unfavorable tree and plant pathogen. The grounds are inspected for proper drainage, standing waters, and areas that would be good hosts for the pathogen. The fungal pathogen responsible will be isolated from soil samples and the correct care and treatment methods determined. After the diagnosis, the top Fort Worth arborist will present the tree assessment report and the treatment plan. This will also include the ongoing care and maintenance required to stop leaf spot spreading throughout the residential outdoor environment.
Treating Leaf Spots
 
A tree service must remove dead, infected, or diseased leaves and branches from the environment to stop the further spread of the deadly pathogen. The spores spread quickly through wind, rain, and blowing. Regular tree pruning done by an experienced tree company allows airflow throughout the tree's canopy. This prevents leaf spot from spreading to other parts of the property or further infecting the tree. Sprinklers that wet the foliage should not be used. Regular, monitored watering should also be performed early in the morning either with soil drenching or at the tree's base. Fort Worth-certified arborists can determine whether this is necessary. For trees to be healthy and resilient to diseases, regular deep root fertilization performed by a tree service professional is crucial. If severe cases are diagnosed with leaf spot, fungicide treatment may be required. An arborist who is trained to treat trees suffering from the disease will apply the treatments and provide a one-year guarantee. Although leaf spot is rarely fatal, it can damage the tree and make it more susceptible to other invasive illnesses. Entrust your residential habitat to an arborist in Fort Worth, Texas to ensure it remains beautiful and free from disease.
