Local Tree Diseases: What You Need to Know

Oak Wilt: A Silent Killer

Oak Wilt is a deadly fungal disease that's particularly harsh on red oaks. It's like a silent assassin, spreading through root systems and capable of taking down mature trees in no time. Spotting it early can make all the difference, which is why having a trained eye on your property is crucial.

Anthracnose: The Leaf Spot Menace

If you've got maples, oaks, sycamores, or ashes on your property, keep an eye out for Anthracnose. This fungal troublemaker leaves its calling card in the form of large, dark spots on leaves. While it might not be as deadly as Oak Wilt, it can certainly put a damper on your tree's health and appearance.

White Pine Blister Rust: A Pine's Worst Nightmare

Eastern and Western white pines in our area face a formidable foe in White Pine Blister Rust. This disease doesn't mess around - it causes yellowing needles and nasty cankers on branches and trunks. Left unchecked, it can turn your majestic pines into a sorry sight.

Bur Oak Blight: The Leaf Dropper

Bur oaks, listen up! There's a fungal infection called Tubakia iowensis that's got your name on it. Bur Oak Blight leads to severe leaf death and can have your trees shedding leaves like it's fall in the middle of summer. Not a good look, and definitely not good for tree health.

Our History

In 2008, Monster Tree Service began as a small tree service company providing arboricultural care to Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey. Our founder was committed to promoting the growth of healthy trees and giving homeowners unparalleled service while taking care of their yards and homes. As a result, when other tree service businesses struggled to find jobs, our company kept working through every season, growing and expanding like the trees we care for.

Customers love working with us because we’re honest. When we tell customers they do or don’t need a particular service, they know we mean it. Because we care about trees, we’ll always fight for ways to rehabilitate your tree rather than remove it. When we do recommend removal, it’s because we know it’s the only thing that’s safe for your home and family.
