Most common tree diseases can affect any plant species — even the strongest oak trees and the most beautiful ornamentals.

Here are some of the most common issues we diagnose and treat:

Phytophthora Canker Disease

Phytophthora is a water mold that causes root rot and cankers, weakening trees from the inside out. If you’re seeing bleeding lesions, dying branches, wilting or infected leaves, or unexpected dieback caused by a fungal or bacterial pathogen, it’s time to have us take a look. This disease becomes more aggressive when trees are weakened by drought stress, so be sure to have a proper watering plan.

Left untreated, this disease can spread, cause significant damage, and even kill mature trees.

Anthracnose

This common fungal disease affects several species in Georgia, especially sycamores, dogwoods, and oaks. With this specific disease, common signs include browning leaf tips, early leaf drop, leaf spots, or distorted new growth on infected branches. As a fungal infection, Anthracnose doesn’t just make your trees look unhealthy — it weakens them over time.

Powdery Mildew

If you see a white or gray powder-like substance coating your leaves, especially in shaded or humid areas, powdery mildew might be the culprit. While it often looks cosmetic, it can stress trees, stunt growth, cause leaves to turn yellow, and reduce their ability to fight off other diseases or pests.

Root Rot

Often caused by overwatering, compacted soil, or poor drainage, root rot quietly attacks trees underground. Signs include yellowing leaves, stunted growth, slow growth, and sudden decline in health. Since roots are the tree’s lifeline, this disease can be fatal if not treated early in its life cycle. Arbor Equity specializes in identifying the warning signs and taking action before it’s too late.

FUTURE VISION

Fire Blight

Fire blight gives trees a scorched appearance, turning blossoms, shoots, and leaves brown or black. It primarily affects apple, pear, crabapple, and hawthorn trees in early spring. Fire blight is common in Georgia and thrives in warm, wet spring weather. Prompt pruning and professional treatment are essential to prevent it from spreading and causing serious damage.

FUTURE VISION

Apple Scab

While not as common in Georgia as in cooler climates, apple scab can still affect apple and crabapple trees during particularly wet springs. It causes olive-green to brown spotting on leaves and fruit, leading to early leaf drop and unsightly damage. Preventive care and proper tree maintenance can help reduce the risk of infection.

Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late

Early signs of tree disease can be easy to miss — or easy to ignore. But early detection is critical when it comes to effective treatment options, as issues left unchecked can escalate into significant threats to property and landscape health.

Common signs of tree infestations and diseases include thinning canopies and discolored tree leaves, which can help you recognize early indicators of tree health issues that may require professional intervention.

At Arbor Equity, we combine our deep knowledge of local tree species with field-tested solutions to give your trees the best chance at recovery. Whether it is a trunk injection or an applied tree disease treatment, we will help strengthen your tree’s vascular system.

We won’t overwhelm you with jargon or push unnecessary pre-emptive foliar treatments. Instead, we focus on:

Early detection
Accurate diagnosis
Clear communication
Customized treatment plans
Safe, responsible application techniques
Ongoing care and support when needed

Our goal is simple: to restore tree health and improve plant vigor while protecting your property and preserving your landscape’s beauty.
