Insect and disease tree management.

What to look for.

• Leaf discoloration-yellow, browning, or spots on the leaves.

• Bark damage-cracks, peeling, or unusual growth.

• Wilting or drooping - leaves or branches

• Fungal growth - mushrooms or fungi at the base or in the trunk

• Sap oozing - excessive sap or resin leaking from wounds or cracks.

  In Michigan, common tree diseases include Dutch Elm Disease, Oak Wilt, Powdery Mildew, and Canker Diseases.
