Our Fireblight Suppression Program protects apple, pear, and ornamental trees across Chester, Montgomery & Delaware Counties using ISA-certified expertise, pathogen-specific pruning, and targeted spray treatments. We follow science-based IPM protocols to reduce Erwinia amylovora infection risk—proven effective, safe, and seasonally timed.
At Lang’s, we understand the destructive power of Fireblight, caused by the bacterium Erwinia amylovora. It thrives during Pennsylvania’s warm, wet springs—attacking blossoms, shoots, and limbs of apple, pear, and ornamental trees. Our year-round suppression program uses bloom-stage bactericides, vector insect control, and sanitation pruning to stop outbreaks before they spread. With ISA-certified arborists and tailored timing based on local weather, we provide trusted protection that generic programs can’t match.
We’ve spent over two decades helping Pennsylvania’s trees fight back against fireblight. With science-backed methods, certified experts, and real-time local response, Lang’s delivers the kind of personalized care national chains simply can’t offer.
We’ve treated thousands of infected trees across Southeastern PA since 2004. Our depth of experience means we know the signs, the risks, and the most effective treatments—no guesswork, no shortcuts, just reliable results season after season.
We install only ANSI A300-compliant cables, rods, and eye bolts — the same standards trusted by industry pros nationwide. These materials are built for strength, durability, and performance under extreme weather stress.
Every fireblight treatment is overseen by an ISA-certified arborist trained in Integrated Pest Management (IPM). This ensures that every decision we make is rooted in biology, safety, and long-term plant health—not just spraying and hoping.
No two trees or properties are the same. That’s why we build every fireblight suppression plan from the ground up—factoring in tree type, infection stage, landscape use, and long-term plant health. This is precision tree care, not guesswork.
Fireblight spreads differently depending on temperature, rainfall, and bloom stage. We tailor our treatment timing based on hyper-local weather and bloom data from your county—not generic calendars used by national providers.
We don’t hide behind vague pricing or upsell you with bloated packages. You’ll know exactly what each treatment includes, why it’s necessary, and what it costs—clear, honest, and fair every step of the way.
We inspect for symptoms like “shepherd’s crook” twigs and oozing cankers, confirm Erwinia amylovora presence, and identify infection stage for precision planning.
We apply locally timed bactericides and prune 12–18″ below infection using sterilized tools. This disrupts bacterial spread while preserving healthy tissue.
Our team tracks seasonal conditions, host plant response, and reinfection risks—adjusting treatments and boosting resistance to safeguard your trees year-round.
Look for blackened, wilted shoots that bend like a shepherd’s crook, oozing cankers, and scorched-looking blossoms. Early detection is key to stopping the spread.
Fireblight cannot be “cured,” but it can be effectively suppressed. Our treatments stop the bacteria from spreading, protect unaffected limbs, and strengthen tree health.
Most cases require 3–4 visits per year, depending on tree species, weather, and infection stage. We customize your plan for seasonal timing and effectiveness.
Yes. We use targeted, approved treatments that are safe for home orchards and follow all EPA and Pennsylvania agricultural safety guidelines.
Start in early spring—before bud break—for the best protection. That’s when bacteria begin to spread through blossoms. We offer free evaluations to get ahead of it.
