A sudden decline in your fruit tree's health—whether it's curling leaves, premature fruit drop, sticky residue, or trunk damage—requires rapid, expert intervention.

As San Diego's trusted Fruit Tree Doctor, our team brings certified expertise (C-49 License #1154422) directly to your backyard. We diagnose, treat, and rehabilitate sick fruit trees using environmentally responsible and targeted methods tailored to Southern California's climate.

San Diego County's microclimates and heavy clay soils create specific vulnerabilities for backyard orchards. We provide professional diagnostics and targeted treatments for:

• Invasive Shothole Borers (ISHB): Microscopic beetles that bore into trunks and branches, introducing damaging fungi.
• Argentine Ants & Scale Insects: Ants "farm" scale, aphids, and mealybugs on citrus and figs, leading to black sooty mold.
• Glassy-Winged Sharpshooters: Sap-sucking insects that transmit plant bacteria across grapevines and fruit trees.
• Asian Citrus Psyllid (ACP): Vector for Huanglongbing (HLB / Citrus Greening), requiring careful monitoring and management.

• Phytophthora Root & Crown Rot: Common in inland clay soils during summer over-watering, causing leaf collapse and trunk weeping.
• Peach Leaf Curl: Fungal infection causing swollen, reddish, distorted leaves on peach and nectarine trees in damp spring weather.
• Citrus Canker & Gummosis: Oozing sap from trunk lesions caused by soil pathogens or physical damage.

We don't apply blanket, toxic spray treatments. We follow a precise horticultural process:

1. On-Site Health Assessment: We inspect leaf tissue, trunk condition, root collar depth, and soil moisture levels.
2. Pathogen & Pest Identification: Identifying the exact insect, fungus, or nutrient deficiency causing stress.
3. Targeted Treatment Plan: Applying eco-friendly bio-fungicides, trunk injections, soil drenches, or organic horticultural oils.
4. Soil & Root Rehabilitation: Flushing accumulated summer salts, amending heavy clay, and applying organic root stimulants.
5. Preventative Monitoring: Establishing seasonal care routines to stop pests before they ruin your harvest.

Treating fruit trees requires specialized knowledge that standard pest control companies or general arborists lack:

• Fruit-Safe Treatments: We prioritize organic and low-toxicity treatments that protect pollinators, pets, and your edible harvest.
• Sanitated Equipment: We strictly sanitize all diagnostic and cutting equipment between jobs to eliminate cross-contamination.
• Root-Cause Focus: We fix the underlying soil, irrigation, and nutrient issues rather than just spraying the symptoms.

Don't let pests or diseases destroy years of fruit growth. Get an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan from licensed specialists who understand San Diego's unique soil and canopy health.
