Beech Leaf Disease
The last few years have been quite difficult for Beech trees, especially the American Beech. A microscopic worm (nematode) from Japan has infected American Beech and European Beech. This year, UMass Amherst came out with a protocol that works very well. The Beeches are injected with Phosphorus acid, a near organic which shuts down the nematode and allows the tree to grow normally.
Nobody has a better treatment. To inject, I use an ArborJet Tree IV. ArborJet, a Massachusetts company, makes the finest injection equipment in the tree industry.

Thank you for your interest, but I no longer provide landscape design services. My focus has shifted entirely to the horticulture side of my work, which has taken up most of my time
