Every tree has the future potential for disease and insect damage. Factors such as location and weather will play a part in which issues your tree encounters.
Disease-resistant trees are the best option for easy care; and for all trees, proper maintenance (such as watering, fertilizing, pruning, spraying, weeding, and fall cleanup) can help keep most insects and diseases at bay.
