Bensalem, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/08/2018 -- All The Above Tree Service, the leading tree removal service provider for Yardley, PA, and its surrounding communities, wants to educate their clients on how they can identify some of the more common tree diseases that afflict Pennsylvania residents and homeowners.
One of the most common arboreal ailments in the PA neck of the woods is a disease called anthracnose, otherwise known as leaf blight. Identified by the small, dark spots that it produces on tree leaves, leaf blight most commonly afflicts hardwoods such as oak, maple, and ash. A tree's leaves can also be the location where symptoms of Armillaria root rot show up. Beginning with small mushrooms growing near a tree's base, Armillaria can quickly extend to tree leaves and is one of the primary causes of the decline of many oak species.
All The Above Tree Service is also highlighting Dutch elm disease, a fungus that can infect trees and clog their vascular systems, cutting off their water supply. Another condition is called oak wilt; a tree fungus which is not only fatal to the tree that contracts it but is also highly contagious to surrounding trees, with the potential to destroy entire yards.
Residents should also be wary of the emerald ash borer, an invasive insect species that has been ravaging forests across much of the United States ever since its introduction to North America.
