In Atlanta, the best time to prune most trees is during late winter to early spring, before new growth begins. Pruning during this dormant season helps trees heal quickly, reduces stress, and lowers the risk of disease or pest infestation. 

In Atlanta, some of the most common tree pests and diseases include Ambrosia Beetles, Fungal Leaf Spots, Black Twig Borers. Here are signs and symptoms of how these pests and diseases can affect your trees. 

• Ambrosia Beetles: As the insect tunnels into the plant, it pushes out frass (sawdust), forming delicate toothpick-like tubes protruding from the bark. 
• Fungal Leaf Spots: Trees may lose some or all leaves and weaken. Young leaves (scales) are more susceptible to a fungus that discolors and kills twig and branch tips, leading to canker development.
• Black Twig Borers: Common indicators of infestation include dead branch tips with brown leaves still attached, as well as tiny borer holes and tunnels found in the pith.

A Plant Health Care (PHC) Program is a proactive, year-round plan to keep your trees and shrubs healthy and pest-free. Our certified arborists focus on prevention and early detection by monitoring soil health, nutrients, insects, and disease. Based on your property’s needs, we create a customized care plan that may include fertilization, pest management, pruning, and soil improvement.
