Apple Scab:

What does it look like?

What causes Apple Scacb?

Apple scab, a common concern for Atlanta arborists, is primarily caused by the fungus Venturia inaequalis. Flourishing in warm and humid conditions during spring and early summer, this pathogen spreads via airborne spores from infected leaves and fruit. Poor air circulation and the presence of infected leaves on the ground contribute to the risk. We recommend strategic pruning and timely removal of fallen leaves to mitigate this issue. Our expert tree removal services prioritize comprehensive care, ensuring the health of Atlanta's apple trees.

What to do about it?

Swift action is essential for effective apple scab management. Identify symptoms, isolate infected trees, and conduct strategic pruning during the dormant season for improved air circulation. Thinning the canopy enhances sunlight penetration. Consider preventive fungicide applications with expert guidance. Regularly clear fallen leaves, manage soil drainage, and promote overall tree health for resilience. Consulting arborists ensures accurate diagnosis and tailored treatments to protect your Atlanta apple trees comprehensively.
