LandscapExpert Tip of the Week, May 14, 2012


Early Recognition of Landscape Pests and Diseases

Without thorough monitoring by your CrabappleLandscapExperts Team, by the time property managers or Homeowners Associations realize there is a problem, the plants are disfigured or too damaged to be saved.
  • Sometimes a problem is misidentified or misdiagnosed and allowed to progress beyond repair
  • Physiological damage to landscape plants occurs as the result of environmental causes like air pollution, poor drainage, compacted soil or drought
  • Other damage can be caused by living pests such as deer, chipmunks or voles that damage the landscape plants

Crabapple can pin the blame on the correct pathogen and institute the right corrective regimen.
