Defoliation

About Defoliation

Defoliation refers to the premature loss of leaves, often caused by fungal infections, insect damage, or environmental stress. This condition weakens trees and shrubs by reducing their ability to photosynthesize, making them more vulnerable to pests and harsh weather. In Middle Tennessee areas like Franklin and Brentwood, timely treatment is essential to protect landscape plants from severe defoliation during the growing season.

Defoliation is a lawn or landscape disease commonly found in Middle Tennessee, including Columbia, Thompson's Station, Spring Hill, and the surrounding areas. This entry is part of our Disease Identification Library.
