Deciduous Tree Diseases __ "Many tree problems are caused by the action of one
or more living organisms. Organisms which cause disease are called pathogens.
The most common tree pathogens are fungi, a large and diverse group of plants
lacking chlorophyll which derive their nourishment by parasitizing green plants,
thereby causing disease. Most fungi are microscopic, but a few, especially the
wood-rotting fungi, produce large, often colorful, fruiting bodies as mushrooms
or conks. Some tree diseases are also caused by bacteria and viruses." Learn how
to identify and correct the problems. - From North Dakota State University -

Lawn Diseases __ "Turf diseases can be serious when weather and/or lawn

spores. The spores function like seeds, producing new infections whenever the
environment is favorable for a period of time and the host is susceptible."

setting, decreasing property value...This would be unnecessary if the proper
species of tree or shrub were selected in the first place." Learn what is best
