Professionals at tree lopping Brisbane have emphasised the significance of identifying common tree diseases. Being able to confidently identify such diseases will prove helpful in nipping the problem in the bud. It will not only help in saving the tree but also make your landscape look beautiful.

Described below are the three common tree diseases and tips to will help you identify them:

1. Fire blight:

The first signs of this particular disease are any of the branches and leaves looking as if they have been burned. In the disease, the leaves and blooms will all of a sudden begin to wilt or turn brownish or blackish in colour. It occurs due to bacteria that may become active and alert in warm and moist weather. And, rain, bees, along with infected pruning may aggravate the issue. You may get in touch with professionals at leading stump removal services and get these problems sorted.

2. Powdery mildew:

If you notice a powdery mildew establishing a white-coloured coating on leaves this is a sign of another disease known as Powdery Mildew. It occurs especially in dry and cloudy weather along with strong humidity. It is often caused due to one of the various fungi. Plants that grow in shaded places remain vulnerable to catch this issue. The leaves may take distorted shape thus appearing to be unsightly to the eyes. Subsequently, the infected leaves eventually turn yellowish in colour and fall down. This disease tends to occur in late fall when you witness small dots all over the white patches. It is important to tackle the issue once recognised or opt for complete tree removal.

3. Leaf rust:

If you spot any orange, reddish, or gold spots on the surface of the leaves, the tree is grappling with rust. However, it does not have the capacity of killing the plant, but it may diminish the appearance of the leaves. Rust and fungus may weaken the plant and make the leaves unappealing. Rust may also interfere with the photosynthesis process through which plants make food.
