FAQs — Sick Trees in Edmonton

How do I know if my tree has a disease?

Look for warning signs like discolored or completely dropped leaves out of season, visible fungal growth (mushrooms) on the trunk or roots, deep cracks in the bark, or excessive deadwood in the canopy.

Can a diseased tree be saved?

Often, yes! If caught early, many fungal infections and pest infestations can be treated with targeted spraying, soil amendments, or specialized pruning. However, if the structural integrity is compromised, removal may be the safest option.
