Cracks & Growth on The Bark
One of the easiest and most common ways to tell if your trees are suffering from pest infestation or underlying disease is by identifying the condition of the bark. While much of the deterioration happens on the inside, a lack of nutrients can cause your tree’s bark to become cracked or develop a growth of bacteria that is hard to miss. If you notice vertical cracks in your tree’s bark or that it is falling off completely, this could be a major indicator of deteriorating health. Call A-Unlimited Tree Service at (618) 581-4470 for quality tree care and maintenance.
Decaying Roots
This may be one of the hardest ways to determine if your tree’s health is being compromised. Tree roots are extremely difficult to examine in their entirety, as their intricate vines grow deep within the Earth in a multitude of directions. However, decaying roots can start from the tip of the root to the base of the tree. Make sure to closely examine the base of your tree to see if you can spot any deterioration of the bark, outer roots, or soil. Our expert arborists at A-Unlimited Tree Service have years of experience treating decaying tree roots and can help restore your tree’s health for a reasonable price!
Dead Leaves & Branches
Another common concern that home and business owners have for the health of their trees is the presence of dead leaves and branches in the middle of thriving spring and summer growth months. One of the easiest ways to determine if your tree needs professional help is quickly examining the health of the leaves. If you notice that your once green leaves are now looking yellow, brown, or spotting of the two, it could indicate an underlying disease or pest issue. Taking a close look at the color and flexibility of your twigs and branches as well can give you a good insight into their current state of health.
Scheduling Tree Care Maintenance
Now you’re probably wondering, what’s next? You’ve identified ongoing issues with your tree, and you are ready to restore it to health, but how? One of the first things we recommend is contacting our staff to schedule an inspection as soon as possible. The earlier we detect an issue, the faster we can solve it and save you some money on tree removal services in the end.
