Tree and Shrub Damage Warning Signs You Shouldn't Ignore
Trees and shrubs face numerous threats throughout the year in Virginia. From invasive insects to destructive diseases, these challenges can quickly turn your healthy landscape into a struggling one without proper identification and intervention.
Homeowners in Virginia should watch for these warning signs when inspecting trees and shrubs:
- Yellowing or browning leaves outside of seasonal changes
- Unusual spots, bumps, or growth patterns on foliage
- Sticky residue on leaves or beneath plants
- Thinning canopy or branch dieback
- Unusual holes or tunnels in bark or branches
- Visible insects or egg masses on stems or undersides of leaves
- White, powdery substances on leaf surfaces
- Premature leaf drop or wilting
Common Landscape Threats That Damage Woody Plants
Aphids cluster on new growth, draining vital nutrients and leaving behind sticky honeydew that attracts other pests. Bagworms construct distinctive hanging cases while consuming foliage, especially on evergreens. Emerald ash borers tunnel beneath bark, disrupting nutrient flow and killing ash trees within 2-3 years. Fungal issues like powdery mildew and leaf spot thrive during humid weather, while scale insects attach themselves to branches and stems, weakening plants over time
Early detection makes all the difference for your valuable landscape investments. Regular monitoring combined with professional preventative care can stop minor issues before they become major problems. Nuleaf Lawn Care's comprehensive program includes thorough inspections and targeted treatments designed to protect your landscape throughout each season.
