New Brochure - Bronze Leaf Disease
The only treatment option available for Bronze Leaf Disease at this time is sanitation. Click the image to learn more about this tree disease.The City of Calgary Parks, Urban Forestry section has received confirmation that Bronze Leaf Disease (BLD) is present in Calgary. The confirmed infections have been found on Swedish Columnar Aspen trees, and suspected infections have also been found on Trembling Aspen species. Tower Poplar and other poplar hybrids and species have been confirmed infected.

Bronze Leaf Disease is not a declared pest under the Provincial Pest Act, nor are there any registered pest control products available to help facilitate treatment. The only treatment option available at this time is sanitation. We encourage property owners to contact tree care professionals to inspect, diagnose, and treat trees for BLD.
