Trees are invaluable assets to our landscapes, providing shade, beauty, and a habitat for wildlife. However, just like any living organism, trees can face health issues. Recognising early signs that your tree needs professional care can prevent further damage and ensure the longevity of your green giants.
Here are five critical indicators that it's time to call in the experts.
Discolored or Wilting Leaves
Healthy trees typically have vibrant, green leaves during the growing season. If you notice leaves that are discoloured, wilting, or falling prematurely, it could be a sign of an underlying issue such as disease, nutrient deficiency, or root problems. Here at TC Tree Services, we can diagnose the problem and recommend appropriate treatments.
Visible Cracks or Cavities
Cracks in the trunk or large branches, as well as cavities, can compromise a tree's structural integrity. These issues might be caused by environmental stress, physical damage, or decay. Ignoring them can lead to hazardous situations, including the risk of the tree falling. At TC Tree Services, we will assess the damage and determine the best course of action, whether it involves treatment or removal.
Dead or Falling Branches
It's not uncommon for trees to shed a few branches, but a significant number of dead or falling branches is a red flag. Dead branches can indicate disease, pest infestations, or severe stress. Removing these branches is essential for safety, and we can help identify the root cause and suggest solutions.
Unusual Growth Patterns
Abnormal growth patterns, such as leaning trunks, uneven canopies, or stunted growth, can signal problems. These issues might be due to environmental factors, improper planting, or underlying health conditions. A professional evaluation can help determine the cause and appropriate corrective measures.
Pests or Fungal Growth
The presence of pests or fungal growth on your tree is a clear sign that it needs attention. Pests can cause significant damage to a tree's health, while fungi can indicate decay or disease. We have the knowledge and tools to manage infestations and treat fungal infections effectively.
