Held at the Josephine County Extension Auditorium in Grants Pass, this program focuses on diseases & insect pests of trees commonly found on small acreages in Southern Oregon, including oaks, madrones, pines, Douglas-fir, maples and others. We'll cover diagnosis of "sick tree" problems, treatment options, and how to maintain good tree health and prevent problems from occurring in the first place. Specific insect and disease issues covered will include bark beetles, wood borers, mistletoe, fungi that cause branch and tip dieback, defoliating insects, and cultural problems such as overwatering and soil compaction.WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY TREE?
