November PTCA Meeting: Preparing for the Future of Plant Health Care
Join us for an engaging discussion with Ricardo Aguilar as he reviews the top Plant Health Care (PHC) issues of 2025 — from emerging pests and diseases to shifting environmental conditions and client expectations. Ricardo will share key insights on what arborists and landscape professionals should anticipate in the coming year and offer practical strategies to prepare for a successful 2026.
Stay ahead of the curve and gain tools to strengthen your PHC programs for the seasons ahead.
Ricardo Aguilar has been a certified QAL applicator since 2006 and an ISA Certified Arborist since 2013. In 2010, Ricardo and his wife Emily founded Aguilar Plant Care with a mission to provide honest, professional, and science-based Plant and Tree Health Care (PHC) services. Over the years, Aguilar Plant Care has developed effective treatment programs and management strategies to combat the ever-growing pest and disease challenges that threaten our urban trees and landscapes.
Fifteen years later, Aguilar Plant Care operates a fleet of 15 specialized PHC trucks and proudly serves a wide range of clients — from small residential properties and large private estates to HOAs, commercial sites, and even Legoland. Our service area now spans all of San Diego and Orange Counties, with growing coverage in parts of Riverside and Los Angeles Counties.
Today, Ricardo will share insights on the most pressing PHC issues of 2025 and discuss how we can proactively prepare for the challenges ahead in 2026.
