We are the only company in Hawaii that provides comprehensive plant health care services.
Insects and disease can affect the look and health of your plants. We can diagnose plant health problems, big or small, and quickly provide clear and easy to understand results. After a thorough field inspection we bring samples back to our laboratory for accurate identification and analysis by our team of experienced entomologists and plant pathologists. If a more comprehensive analysis is required we will send samples to commercial labs for further testing. Once our lab results are completed, we provide you with a clear and detailed report on our findings and the specific treatments we recommend. Depending on the diagnosis, you may choose to have us perform the recommended treatment. Our goal is to provide you with accurate and complete results, so you can make a well informed decision.
Tree Solutions Hawaii also provides treatment for tree pest, disease, fungus and nutrient issues. We are the leading company providing treatment options for Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle, Ficus Stem Gall Wasp & Lobate Lac Scale, Avocado Lace Bug, Monkeypod Caterpillar, Plumeria Whitefly and others.

DiagnosisOur staff of entomologists and plant pathologists are experts in diagnosing plant pest and disease issues in Hawaii. We work with clients to diagnose problems they observe in their landscapes, including insect, fungal, viral, bacterial, nutrient and soil issues.
Many diagnoses can be done "in house" by our team of professionals, but advanced testing may be required for some cases. We provide available treatment options to improve plant health. |
Treatment PlansFixing plant health issues can be simple or complex. We work with you to establish a treatment plan to get your plants healthy again. Depending on your specific requirements, we provide recommendations for appropriate and effective treatments. You may choose to administer the treatment yourself, or our team of trained plant care technicians can perform the treatment for you.
Long-term integrated pest management plans could include organic and chemical treatments. Below we briefly describe common treatment options. |
Treatment Options
Organic Treatments
Not all treatments require chemicals. Aeration with an air spade can alleviate soil compaction, support tree health and improve the soil ecosystem. For nutrient deficiencies, we can apply fertilizers based on soil test results. We also provide horticultural oil spray services to suppress pest populations in trees. |
Insecticide Treatments
Some pest infestations are best treated with insecticide applications. We work closely with manufacturers to minimize impacts to non-target species. We perform systemic trunk injections and soil injections to target specific pests, and reduce impact to non-target pollinators. |
Soil Remediation
We partner with Naholowa'a Earth Works soil expert Lorra Naholowa'a to remediate soil using site-specific concoctions of compost tea and healthy soil microbes. |
