Premature Defoliation: Have you observed that your trees are losing their leaves in excess? Are they shedding their leaves at the wrong time of the year? When foliage loss is excessive then your trees are sick. It is of high importance to contact a tree expert promptly if you are observing premature defoliation.
Peeling Bark: Falling bark and bark that is thin, cracked, chipping, flaking or has bare spots is diseased. Healthy trees will have solid bark that is consistent in thickness along the trunk.
Branches Falling & Dead Falling: Branches falling from your tree that are bare and dead branches on your habitat grounds are indications of tree sickness. Although branches can break due to severe weather, healthy branches will be flexible and do not break when bended.
Thinning Appearance: When your tree has noticeable areas of thinning branches or foliage then it has been weakened and is unhealthy. Robust trees will have a lush, full canopy with no bare spots throughout it.
Excessive Water and Moisture at the Tree’s Baseline: Many destructive fungal pathogens thrive in water and excessively moist soil. When you notice areas within your residential grounds that have standing water, poor drainage and soil that is always wet then those places invite tree sickness. Tree roots rot and decay when there is excessive moisture. Contact an experienced tree company immediately and they will rectify these areas within your landscape to ensure your trees are protected.
Yellowing, Browning or Dark Spot on Leaves: Healthy tree foliage will be free of blotches, browning and unsightly dark spots. When the foliage on your trees are not consistent in color then the tree is sick. Diseases that cause these symptoms can spread rapidly and destroy the tree if left untreated. It is imperative to contact an arborist that treats sick trees immediately.
