Our knowledgeable staff here at Garden-Ville are available to answer many of the questions you might have about gardens, landscaping, and trees. Many problems with plants, however, cannot be responsibly diagnosed other than in person. We're located in central Texas and may not be familiar with the details of gardening in very different climate or soil zones. One of the guiding principles of organic growing is adapting methods to the particularites of local soil and climate. With that in mind we'll do our best to answer your question, but if we can't we'll be happy to help you find the appropriate resources or professionals in your area.

    Sick Tree Treatment, Tree Questions

    It's hard to give a specific diagnosis of the problem without being able to examine it in person and knowing the age and species of the tree. There are numerous kinds of blight. In general we recommend applying our Sick Tree Treatment around the tree at a rate of 10 pounds per 1000 square feet and mulching to a depth of 3-4" around the tree to the dripline. These are both very effective ways to bolster the tree's natural disease resistance. For more specific treatment options your best bet is to contact an ISA certified arborist to examine the tree and make recommendations.
