Whether their leaves just aren't as green as they used to be, you've spotted caterpillars munching foliage, or you've noticed the development of some unsightly fungus, when you see a problem with a tree or shrub on your property, you want to know the cause and the best way to treat it. This is one of the major reasons customers initially contact us, and for good reason.
Bartlett arborists excel in analyzing and identifying plant healthcare issues. Our local arborists receive ongoing training on the latest problems and treatment techniques. They also have the support of the diagnostic facilities at our Bartlett Tree Research Laboratories, a benefit that just is not available elsewhere. The Plant Diagnostic Clinic at our Research Laboratories analyzes more than 20,000 plant and soil samples each year to ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment programs for our clients. Whether your plant has a common insect infestation, a soil deficiency, or a tree disease completely new to your area, it can be appropriately identified and addressed.

- It looks like my giant sequoia is dying! It’s about 25 years old and 40 feet tall. It looks like 80% of the healthy thick dark bark is missing, leaving a bright tan sort of fuzzy wood. What is left looks like it’s dry rotting. I don’t see any insects. I’d love to find a way to treat it if possible. Might you be able to diagnose this severe bark loss?
