We were called to evaluate this State Street Maple in New Lenox IL. Upon arrival we noticed premature and inconsistent yellowing, along with reduced growth throughout the canopy. Upon investigation, the tree had a noticeable girdling root strangling the lower trunk area. As you can see from the photo, this maybe 1” root was in fact doing a good amount of damage. We did some root extraction and fertilization and in time, this tree will improve in health. Trees should always have good visible root flares with taper. Many trees in our urban landscapes face this very issue due to factors such as improper planting depth and mulch volcanoes.

This is Two-Lined Chestnut Borer found under the bark of a Red Oak. This pest is becoming more of a threat to our regional Oaks. Proactive care is very important!

This Bur Oak was symptomatic of Bur Oak Blight and Two Lined Chestnut Borers. These pictures show the progression of better health in 3 years time.

Verticillium Wilt! Here we have a Redbud tree that had dead branches pruned off. You can clearly see the dark vascular streaking of the sap wood. This dark colored fungus plugs the water carrying vessels of a tree killing the tree in time. Unfortunately there is no cure for this issue. Keeping the tree as healthy as possible through cultural means such as proper fertilization, watering and pruning can help extend the life.
