Trees are not immune to diseases and identifying and treating them quickly is crucial to stop the spread and maintain the health and beauty of your garden.
In Australia, where various climatic conditions exist, trees can be susceptible to a range of diseases. Common Australian diseases include Myrtle Rust, Phytophthora Root Rot, Apple Scab, Sooty Mold, Anthracnose, and Eucalyptus Dieback. However, each disease has distinct symptoms and requires tailored treatment strategies.
