Heart Rot<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Heart Rot is a very common infection that can harm trees. It uniquely attacks hardwood trees, which happen to be quite prevalent in Indiana.\u00a0 Signs of this disease include fungus and mushroom cap growth.\u00a0 The infection causes deterioration from within, eventually weakening the branches and bark of a hardwood tree.\u00a0 Treatment is complicated, but still possible.\u00a0 It requires expert pruning and dead wooding in order to get the tree in a healthy state of growth.\u00a0 Again, a professional tree care technician is recommended for such diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chestnut Blight<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The American Chestnut Tree faced near extinction in the early 1900\u2019s due to this threatening tree illness.  A simple analogy can help understand the health implications caused by this disease; chestnut blight is to trees as smallpox is to humans.  Chestnut Blight affects the bark and leaves of a tree, causing cankers and orange-brown stains.  It can only be treated with a series of chemical tree injections.  These injections are non-hazardous to the environment but should always be administered by a tree care professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elm Disease<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Also happening in the early 1900\u2019s was oversea shipping and trading.\u00a0 These shipments brought in non-native beetles, commonly referred to as Dutch Beetles.\u00a0 These insects are common predators of Elm Trees in Indiana and prefer to attack trees that are already infected with a fungal disease.\u00a0 Some familiar signs of Elm Disease include yellowing of bark and leaves, and death right before Fall.\u00a0 Typically, tree removal<\/a> is the only option for Elm Disease, other than prevention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
