Ganoderma root rot is a silent and insidious threat to trees, often going unnoticed until it has caused significant damage. This fungal disease affects both deciduous and coniferous trees, including maples, oaks, and palms, and is marked by telltale symptoms such as yellowing or wilting leaves, dead branches, and the gradual weakening of the tree. One of the most noticeable signs of Ganoderma infection is the appearance of conks or bracket-like structures near the base of the tree, which signal the presence of the fungus. Ganoderma fungi enter trees through wounds, often spreading via airborne spores or contaminated pruning tools. Early detection is crucial to prevent extensive damage. If you suspect your tree may be suffering from Ganoderma root rot, it’s important to act quickly. Contact a professional tree service like Gregalls Tree Service for a comprehensive evaluation and to discuss treatment options. Prompt action can help mitigate the spread of the fungus and protect the long-term health of your trees.
