Why Ash Trees Decline In Arizona
Ash trees are among the most popular shade trees in Arizona. Unfortunately, watering problems, root damage, soil compaction, heat stress, insect activity, disease, and environmental changes can all contribute to declining tree health.
Because many Ash tree problems create similar symptoms, proper diagnosis is often more important than guessing at the cause.

Queen Palm Tree Diseases
This video explains how to prevent and treat common Queen Palm problems in Arizona, including frizzle top and fusarium wilt.
Important Nutrient Warning
Queen Palms rely almost entirely on manganese — and a small amount of boron — for their immune system. Arizona soil contains no natural manganese, and regular palm spikes do not provide enough. This is why many Queen Palms decline even when people think they are fertilizing correctly.
Watch the video to learn the correct treatment plan and keep your Queen Palms healthy.

NASA Discovers Microbes in the Sky
In this video, I explain NASA’s recent discovery of microbes living high in the atmosphere. These airborne pathogens can travel around the world, influence how raindrops form, and may introduce new diseases to trees and other plants.
How Rain Makes Trees Sick
These microbes can be carried down by rain, spreading germs from the upper atmosphere into our soil and onto our trees. Watch the video to learn how this process works and what it may mean for tree health in the future.
How Herbs and Trees Fight Disease
In this video, Pat from Warner’s Tree Surgery explains how herbs and trees use enzymes to fight disease, and how those enzymes are created from nutrients in the soil.
Improving Plant and Soil Health
Pat also shares tips on using herbs for your own health and on improving soil quality so your trees and plants can produce the enzymes they need to stay strong.
Chemical Burns in Trees
Chemical burns occur when excess ions around the roots reverse the root membrane, forcing water out of the tree. This leads to leaf burn, wilting, and decline.
Common Causes
- Toxic substances in the soil
- Tool or paint-cleaner runoff
- Drain cleaners (Drano)
- Gas leaks
- Insecticide spills
- Pool salt or chlorine
- Excess fertilizer
- Contaminated fill dirt
Treatment
Flood the tree heavily for two weeks to push the chemical deeper into the soil. New buds often appear within 1–2 weeks. Severe cases may require direct trunk injections to bypass damaged roots and boost the tree’s immune system.
After watering for two weeks, leave the tree alone for a year. If leaf problems return, have the tree re‑evaluated.
