How to Revive a Dying Tree

Trees are an important part of any landscape, providing shade and beauty. Unfortunately, one of the most common problems faced by homeowners in the Piedmont area is a dying or diseased tree on their property. If you think your tree may be in trouble, here are some tips on how to revive a dying tree. However, if you don’t want to tackle this alone, contact Nature’s Select Piedmont.


Diagnose the Issue

The first step is to determine why your tree is dying. In order to do this, inspect the tree carefully for signs of disease or damage. Common causes include fungus, pest infestations, nutrient deficiencies, and physical trauma. Once you’ve identified the problem, you can take action to remedy it.

Treat Fungal Infections

Fungal infections are common causes of tree death and can be difficult to treat. There are several steps you should take if your tree is suffering from a fungal infection. First, prune away any affected branches or leaves using sterile tools. Then, apply fungicide according to the directions on the label. Finally, cover the affected area with mulch or soil to help prevent re-infection. With proper care and attention, your tree should begin to recover over time.

Eliminate Pest Infestations

If your tree has been infested with pests such as aphids or mites, there are several organic methods you can use to get rid of them without damaging other plants in your yard. Natural remedies such as neem oil and insecticidal soap can help ward off unwanted bugs while still being safe for humans and animals alike. Additionally, releasing beneficial insects, such as ladybugs, into your garden can provide natural pest control while helping keep other beneficial plants safe from harm.
