EARLY STAGE BLD


What to look for:
  • Dark green banding between leaf veins
  • Leaves may appear slightly thicker or leathery
  • Subtle curling or cupping of the leaf surface
  • Symptoms often visible when you hold the leaf up to light

Where it shows up:
  • Typically starts on lower branches
  • May affect only part of the tree at first

Why it matters:
Early detection is critical. Trees may still look "mostly healthy," but this is when intervention and monitoring are most effective.
