Pest & Disease Diagnosis
Fungal, bacterial and insect problems found early and treated properly.
A tree that drops leaves early, shows fungus at the base or loses branches from the top down is telling you something. We inspect it, find the cause and give you a treatment plan.
Our team holds PA1 and PA6 certificates for the safe application and spraying of pesticides.
What we offer
Pest identification
We identify insects such as aphids, borers and caterpillars, including oak processionary moth nests, which need careful handling.
Fungal detection
Honey fungus, ganoderma and bracket fungi can mean decay inside the trunk or roots. We assess how far it has spread and what it means for safety.
Disease diagnosis
Bacterial, viral and environmental problems, from bleeding cankers to drought stress.
Treatment and management plan
Pruning, soil improvement, targeted treatment or, where safety demands it, removal. We'll explain the options and the cost of each.

Common questions
Can a diseased tree be saved?
Often, yes, if the problem is found early. Some fungi make a tree unsafe, and in those cases we'll say so plainly.
Will the problem spread to my other trees?
Some pests and diseases spread easily. Part of our plan is protecting the healthy trees around the one that's affected.
