Pure Green Lawn and Tree Professionals is proud to introduce Dr. Dave Roberts as our lead tree health care consultant. We at Pure Green have always been considered tops in our field in regards to tree expertise and the addition of Dr. Roberts to our roster of in-house experts puts us in a class of our own.
Dr. Roberts retired from Michigan State University in 2018 after committing four decades to advancing MSU’s Land Grant Mission, originally signed into law by President Abraham Lincoln during the midst of the American Civil War. He has published hundreds of articles and has taught hundreds of lectures and workshops.
Dr. Roberts has researched many issues in Michigan’s plant industry including Oak Wilt, Dutch Elm Disease, Diplodia Tip Blight of Pines, along with a variety of cultural problems such as plant nutrition and herbicide toxicity. During his career, he has discovered a variety of new diseases and pests such as Phomopsis Canker of Spruce and the first bacterial wilt disease of turfgrasses in North America. In the early 2000s, his research on Ash Decline in Southeast Michigan led to the discovery of the invasive Emerald Ash Borer in North America.
You can always be confident that when you are dealing with Pure Green you are dealing with experts.
