Tree Health and Root Rot
Trees are a dominant plant in our landscape.
Fortunately trees of the Pacific Northwest are generally very
healthy and subject to few diseases and insect problems. One
disease that does occur that does cause problems for homeowners
and others is root rot. Root rot is present throughout Kitsap
County and is found on old rotting root segments and stumps
from the past. When healthy tree roots come in contact with
old infected roots, the tree can become diseased. Root rot
is a slow acting disease that can take years to kill the tree.
There are no remedies available, so the best solution is to
promote tree vigor and avoid excessive stress.
