Preventive Care Offers the Best Protection

When it comes to tree care, the best offense is a good defence. Proactive tree care is key to protecting trees against the damaging effects of diseases. The best remedy is a course of pre-emptive foliar treatments or systemic insecticides. This targeted method is designed for a specific pathogen(s) the tree is susceptible to in an aim to reduce the likelihood of the occurrence.
