Tree disease diagnosis and treatment in Sarasota, FL

Common Tree Diseases We Treat in Sarasota

  • Ganoderma butt rot: A fatal fungus that attacks the base of palms and hardwoods, often showing up as a conk at the trunk
  • Oak decline and wilt: Fungal issues that thin the canopy and kill branches
  • Root rot: Common in our wet, sandy soil and high water table
  • Leaf and canker diseases: Fungal and bacterial infections that spread through the canopy

How We Diagnose the Problem

We inspect the whole tree, from the roots and trunk to the canopy, looking for the specific signs each disease leaves behind. An accurate diagnosis comes first, because the right treatment depends entirely on what is actually wrong.

Treatment and Next Steps

Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may include targeted fungicide or bacterial treatments, pruning out infected wood, soil and root care, or in some cases safe removal to protect nearby trees. We give you honest options, not a one-size answer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Ganoderma butt rot?

Ganoderma is a fatal fungal disease that rots the base of palms and hardwoods. It often appears as a shelf-like conk on the lower trunk. There is no cure, so infected trees usually need safe removal to protect nearby trees.

Can a diseased tree be saved?

Many can, if the disease is caught early and correctly diagnosed. Treatment may include fungicides, pruning out infected wood, and improving root health. Some diseases, like Ganoderma, cannot be cured.

How do I know if my tree is diseased or just stressed?

Signs like fungal conks, oozing, dead branches, and out-of-season leaf drop point to disease, while general thinning can be stress. A professional diagnosis sorts out which you are dealing with.
