Trees are living organisms that are vulnerable to things like insect infestations and diseases that can have a negative impact on their health. When trees are in good health, they are better able to resist insects and diseases but when they are affected by these things, they can experience harm that in time can lead to the death or removal of the tree. If you notice any symptoms that could indicate an insect infestation or disease, you need to call a professional arborist to diagnose and treat the problem.

Tree Disease Treatment
There are a number of diseases that can affect your tree and cause problems such as defoliation, trunk and branch damage, and stunted growth. Most tree diseases are caused by bacteria or a fungus but environmental conditions like droughts can also cause stress to your trees that lead to disease-like symptoms. If you notice any of the following with your trees, make sure you call our arborists at Hendricksen Tree Care right away:
- Dark spots or powdery substances on the leaves
- Dying or weak branches
- Abnormal growths on the branches or trunk
- Discolored or drying foliage
Our arborists will inspect your trees to diagnose the problem. Once we have identified the disease, we will discuss treatment options with you that will alleviate the symptoms and restore the tree back to health. Once we decide on the best option, we will begin treating your affected trees.
Tree Insect Treatment
Some insects benefit trees, but there are others that harm your tree by causing damage and draining the tree of its nutrients. Trees are generally affected by insects that eat its foliage, such as Japanese beetles, or insects that burrow into the trunk to feed on the wood and nutrients, such as the emerald ash borer. Both types of insects can cause significant damage to trees and negatively impact it’s health.
The main signs of an insect infestation include skeletonized leaves and holes in the bark where boring insects enter and exit. If you notice either of these signs, you should call our arborists. We will be able to determine what type of insect infestation is affecting your tree and the best way to address the problem. After determining the best solution, we will start the treatment to eliminate the pest.
We may provide the following as part of the treatment depending on the type of insect:
- Canopy spray
- Bark spray
- Trunk injection
- Soil injection

Review by Pavlin R. Panayotov
”I have a tree in the yard of a home that I own and rent that I thought needed to be removed. The branches were hanging over the neighbor’s property and I did not want my tree to cause any damage. One tree removal professional was ready to remove the tree, but I called Hendricksen Tree Care for a second opinion. Bob Hendricksen came to my property and told me it is best to not remove the tree. He said that he could provide treatment for the tree that will help it live strong for another 10 years. He also mentioned that removing the tree could lead to issues with water pooling in the yard. Instead of removing the tree, Hendricksen Tree Care provided treatment to help it stay strong and healthy.
I want to thank Bob Hendricksen for providing treatment to save the tree, even though the treatment service cost less than removing it. His passion for providing excellent tree care saved my tree!”
