8 Signs to look out for

Before you call a tree service, you should be on the lookout for tell-tale signs that inform you of your tree’s health. If you notice any of the following, call us immediately:

1

Pests

Their size makes them perfect shelters for pests and rodents to call them home. Termites, in particular, can burrow into trees and cause heavy damage to their interiors. Even worse, these pests can spread into your home, wreaking havoc. If you notice the presence of these creatures, call a specialist to inspect the health of your tree.

2

Tilting

If your tree begins to tilt or lean, it is because its roots are starting to lose grip on your soil. This is either due to poor soil, poor health in your tree, or both. If you notice slight deviations in your tree’s position, call a specialist before it is too late. The tree will eventually tilt and fall over, causing considerable damage to everything in its path.

3

No Signs of Green

Green is a sign of health and growth, especially in trees. If you notice a significant lack of green on your tree, it is a clear sign that it lacks nutrients or has poor circulation which can be caused by poor health, rot, or structural damage. 

4

No Leaves or dying leaves

Leaves are a good sign that your tree is healthy. If you don’t see signs of leaves or you notice nothing but dying leaves, it is a clear indicator that your tree lacks essential nutrients.

5

Twig Shedding

When your tree begins to shed twigs and branches, it is a sign that your tree may be unhealthy. Ideally, this should only occur during the fall, but if your tree does this out of season, you should call a specialist to assess the health of your tree.

6

Bark Flaking

In general, your tree should not be flaking or have empty spots dotted around it. Bark flaking means there aren’t enough nutrients being circulated through the tree. If you notice flaking bark, call a specialist to examine your tree’s health.

7

Rot or Fungus

Rot or fungus growth is a sign that your tree’s days are numbered. Depending on how much the rot has spread, you will need to call a tree removal surface as elements of the tree will be unpredictable and break off if the rot has spread extensively.

8

Root Damage

Root damage results from outside elements that could harm your tree’s roots. For this reason, it is important to consult a specialist to check on the health of your tree’s roots. If left untended, your tree will eventually die as it’s roots are deprived of nurtrients necessary to survive.
