Common Tree Pests and Diseases in Wichita
Trees in Wichita deal with countless pest and disease threats. But some are much more concerning than others. Here are some of the most significant issues we see:
Bagworms: These pests can defoliate evergreen trees, and sometimes deciduous tree, if left unchecked.
Pine Wilt: A disease that can quickly kill pine trees, spread by pine sawyer beetles.
Fire Blight: A bacterial disease that affects fruit trees and some ornamental trees, causing branches to appear scorched.
Japanese Beetles: These invasive insects can severely damage the foliage of many tree species.
Oak Wilt: A fungal disease that can be fatal to oak trees, particularly red oaks.
Scale Insects: These small, immobile insects can damage trees by sucking sap from branches and leaves.
Cytospora Canker: A fungal disease that often affects stressed spruce trees.
Emerald ash borer (EAB), the most damaging tree pest in the US, is a serious concern across the Midwest. Although it hasn’t yet been confirmed here in Sedgwick County, it has been found in 13 counties in northeastern Kansas. This is a pest we’ll be keeping our eyes on in the coming years.
