Tree health care is diagnosing why a tree is struggling, pests like bark beetle, disease, drought stress, or root damage, and recommending what to do about it. We assess and treat declining trees across Kelowna and the Okanagan, and we'll tell you honestly when a tree is past saving.
A tree that's thinning out, dropping leaves early, or showing dead branches up top is telling you something. The Okanagan's hot, dry summers stress trees hard, and a stressed tree is wide open to bark beetle, borers, and disease. The sooner you catch it, the more options you have.
We start by figuring out what's actually wrong, because the fix for drought stress is nothing like the fix for a beetle infestation or a root problem. Then we lay out your options honestly: what we can treat or prune to turn it around, and when a tree is too far gone and removal is the safer call.
What's included
- Diagnosis. We identify what's stressing the tree, pests, disease, drought, or root issues, before recommending anything.
- Pest assessment. We check for bark beetle, borers, aphids, and the other usual Okanagan culprits.
- Deadwood removal. We clear dead and dying branches that drain the tree and invite further problems.
- Pruning for recovery. Targeted pruning can relieve a struggling tree and improve airflow and light.
- Care recommendations. Watering, mulching, and timing advice tailored to your tree and our climate.
- Honest removal call. If a tree is hazardous or beyond saving, we say so rather than sell you false hope.
When you need tree health & disease care
Thinning or dying canopy
Sparse leaves, early colour, or dead tops are early warnings worth checking.
Signs of pests
Sawdust, exit holes, pitch tubes, or sticky residue can mean beetles or borers.
Drought stress
Our dry summers push trees to the edge, and stressed trees decline fast.
Fungus or odd growth
Mushrooms at the base or cankers on the trunk can point to internal decay.
