Why Trees Become Vulnerable

A healthy tree can naturally resist many pests and diseases, but when a tree becomes weak or stressed, it becomes far more vulnerable to damage.

✅ Over-pruning or improper trimming
✅ Soil disturbance or poor soil conditions
✅ Too much or too little water
✅ Improper fertilization
✅ Incorrect use of herbicides or pesticides
✅ Environmental stress

Even minor damage to a weakened tree can create an entry point for fungi, bacteria, and parasites to spread.

Signs Your Tree May Be Infected

✅ White powder-like substance on leaves
✅ Unusual insect or pest activity
✅ Abnormal leaf color or shape
✅ Large areas of missing leaves
✅ Discolored or damaged bark
✅ Leaves dropping outside of normal seasonal patterns

Common Texas Tree Insects

Aphids

Aphids are small insects that feed on tree sap and are very common in Texas. They reproduce quickly and can cause significant damage by weakening the tree.

Webworms

Webworms build large webs and feed on leaves. Severe infestations can weaken the tree and make it more susceptible to disease.

Boring Insects

Boring insects penetrate the bark and feed from within, causing serious structural damage if left untreated.

Ball Moss & Mistletoe Removal

Ball moss is commonly found in Texas trees and, while not a parasite, can negatively affect tree growth over time by blocking sunlight.

Mistletoe, however, is a parasite and should always be removed.

We remove both ball moss and mistletoe during trimming and maintenance services to keep your trees healthy.
