Integrated Plant Health Care in Columbia Valley and East Kootenays

Understanding the Importance of Tree Health in the Columbia Valley:

The trees in the Columbia Valley and East Kootenay regions are more than just decorative elements; they're vital components of the local ecosystem. They provide shade, and oxygen, and contribute significantly to the area's scenic appeal. However, various pests and climatic issues threaten their health, making proactive tree care essential for property owners to ensure their trees can thrive. The East Kootenays' unique environmental tapestry presents both challenges and opportunities for plant life. From the bitterly cold winters to the ever-increasing hot and dry summers, the diverse climatic conditions can take a  toll on the health and vitality of mature trees. This makes vigilant plant health care necessary, ensuring the region's trees thrive amidst the changing seasons. An annual assessment of your trees is a crucial step in quickly identifying issues that could become detrimental to high-value trees on your property.

Common Pests we treat for:

  • Elm Leaf Beetles: We use organic, systemic products tailored for combating elm leaf beetles as a proactive solution. These beetles can defoliate and weaken trees, but our treatments act swiftly to protect and fortify against their infestation.

  • Aphids and Scale: Our specialized insecticides effectively control aphid and needle scale infestations, safeguarding trees from their debilitating effects. These pests can weaken trees by sucking sap and hindering their growth, making timely intervention crucial.

  • Bark Boring Insects: Fir Bark Beetle and Fir Wood Borer are bark-boring insects that currently pose a significant issue to our stands of native Douglas Fir throughout the Columbia Valley trench from Golden to Cranbrook BC. Our team is on the front line to help prevent and manage these pests to ensure the ongoing health of native Fir stands on residential, rural, and municipal properties. These boring insects tunnel into the bark, disrupting the tree's nutrient flow and compromising its overall health. We use pheromone patches to help prevent infestations in unaffected trees and actively survey and remove infested trees to decrease spread.
