Tree Care by LawnPro:

The following are common insects and disease problems for trees in southern MN. Lawnpro's certified arborist can assess the overall health of your trees as well as recommend and utilize proven methods to care for them. Trees increase property values, provide heating and cooling savings, and reduce runoff.

Crabapple and Fruit Trees - Apple scab and fireblight. Apple scab is common on crrabapple and fruit trees, causing irregular blotches on leaves, leading to yellowing and early defoliation.

Ash Trees - Emerald Ash Borer was originally detected in Michigan and has now spread to numerous areas in southern MN including Rochester, Faribault, and New Ulm. Prevention is key and if left untreated can lead to the loss of ash trees. Lawnpro employs the latest technology for treatment options.

Birch and Linden Trees - Japanese beetle has become an issue near the metro and southeastern portion of the state, skeletonizing leaves. Grubs of the Japanese beetle can also damage lawns. Treatment for both trees and lawns are important. Chlorosis is also common in birch.

Spruce - Needlecast is a common fungal disease affecting spruce trees. Left untreated, it can cause branch die back starting from the ground and working upwards. Diplodia is similar and affects pine trees.

Oak Trees - Oak wilt and Bur Oak Blight are serious conditions and widespread in the southern half of the state. If left untreated can cause leaf loss and in the case of oak wilt, death of the tree.
