Trees can be affected by various types of damage and often display signs that something is wrong. As a responsible homeowner or business owner, stay vigilant for these signs and take proactive steps to engage professional tree services in order to preserve the health of your trees and prevent potential issues from arising. At My Arborist, we will thoroughly investigate what is ailing your tree and recommend a suitable solution. Here are common signs your trees need professional care:
Leaf Discoloration, Wilting, Loss, or Spots
When your tree has an issue, the leaves are one of the places that show symptoms. They may turn yellow or brown, which may be a sign of inadequate watering, root damage, poor drainage, or inadequate nutrients. Leaf spots and loss usually indicate an illness or the presence of pests. Wilting occurs due to overwatering, underwatering, lack of enough sunlight, and plant infections.
If you notice anything unusual on your leaves, seek our tree services as soon as possible. Our professionals will diagnose and treat issues impacting your leaves and restore the plant’s health. Immediate attention also helps avoid spreading the issue to other trees.
Dead or Dying Branches
Fungal infestation is the predominant cause of dead branches. The fungus infects the tree and retrieves the nutrients the branch needs to stay healthy, leading to its death. Dead branches may also occur due to illness, pest infestation, inadequate nutrients, and other issues.
Dead or dying branches pose a safety risk and need to be dealt with right away. These branches can break off unexpectedly and potentially injure people or damage buildings. My Arborist will conduct a thorough assessment to identify the cause of the problem and address it accordingly. We will also provide recommendations to minimize the risk of branch death, such as ensuring proper watering and fertilization.
Tree Leaning
Tree leaning can be a significant concern, particularly for trees near power lines, walkways, and structures. This issue raises the fear of the tree falling unexpectedly, potentially causing harm and property damage. Root rot is one of the causes of tree-leaning. It happens due to fungal infection and makes the roots weak. When the roots are weak, they can’t offer enough support to the tree, and that makes it lean. Soil erosion, overly wet soil, and overly dry soil can also cause tree-leaning. Our tree services experts will determine why your tree is leaning and implement suitable solutions.
Unusual Bark Appearance
An underlying tree problem may also reveal itself through the bark. Sometimes, the bark may develop cracks, splits, and holes. In other situations, a large part of your tree’s bark may fall off. Canker disease occurs due to fungal infestation and leads to dead bark. If this issue is not addressed promptly, it can lead to a tree’s death. Beech bark disease and pest infestation are also potential causes of bark damage. Let our professional arborists help you address any bark situation before it deteriorates.
