Sick Tree and Diagnosis Treatment
Healthy plants begin with healthy soils. Fertilization is just the start. Adjusting soil pH and ensuring adequate organic matter is present are also key to healthy soils. For plants in urban and suburban soils, Midland Tree Service can simulate the potential conditions for growth found in nature.

Sick Tree and Diagnosis Treatment
Trees become infested with insect pests and diseases because they are in stress and sick. Mother Nature then sends in the clean up crews. Insects and pathogens are just doing their job - trying to take out the unfit plants. Most plant sickness is environmental - too much water, not enough water, too much fertilizer, wrong kind of fertilizer, toxic chemical pesticides, compaction of soil, grade changes, ill-adapted plant varieties and/or over planting single plant species and creating mono cultures, as was done with American elms in the Northwest and the red oak/live oak communities in certain parts of the South.

The control of insects/diseases often involves tree spraying, trunk injections or soil injections. Many tree care companies that offer tree pruning or tree removal also offer tree spraying. The equipment used for tree spraying can be as small as a backpack sprayer all the way up to a 1000 gallon tank trunk.
Oak Wilt Diagnosis and Treatment
Oak Wilt Diagnosis and Treatment
Tree Spraying/Insect Control/Injections
Oak wilt is a major disease problem on live oaks, Spanish oaks, water oaks, black jack oaks and other members of the red oak family. Vast areas of the Texas Hill Country have been devastated by the fungus that causes the disease called oak wilt. Researchers, foresters and Extension workers at Texas A&M University have developed a program to stop this needless loss of one of Texas’s most precious natural resources. This program is known as the “Eight Step Program to Oak Wilt Management.” When implementing any disease management program, it is important to start early in the disease development.

One of the main reasons consumers initially contact an arborist is to determine the cause of a plant problem or condition or to identify and treat a pest infestation. This is an area Midland Tree Service arborists excel in due to the continual training they receive on the latest problems and diagnostic techniques. The support our arborists receive from the diagnostic facilities allows us to service our clients in a way our competitors cannot.
Expert Pruning

Plant Analysis and Diagnosis
Pruning is the most common tree maintenance procedure. Although forest trees grow quite well with only nature's pruning, landscape trees require a higher level of care to maintain their safety and aesthetics. Pruning should be done with an understanding of how the tree responds to each cut. Improper pruning can cause damage that will last for the life of the tree, or worse, shorten the tree's life.
