If you have a tree on your property that doesn’t look as healthy as usual, then it’ll be best to call in an experienced arborist to inspect it. By catching a disease early, you’ll have a better chance of addressing it and saving the tree, whereas an advanced disease can cause a tree to become highly prone to toppling over in high winds, thus meaning it’ll need to be removed. At Jireh Tree Care, our local arborists are highly experienced with identifying diseased trees. Then, we can determine an appropriate course of action for the situation. Here are four signs that a tree has a disease.
Look out for discoloration, premature leaf drop, or abnormal growth patterns. Discolored or spotted leaves can indicate fungal infections, while early leaf drop might be a sign of stress from disease.
The bark serves as a protective layer for a tree, and any damage to it can be a red flag. Keep an eye out for peeling bark, cracks, or cankers. These can be symptoms of various diseases, including fungal infections or infestations by pests like borers. Early detection can prevent the disease from spreading further.
A healthy tree has a balanced and symmetrical structure. If you notice unusual growth patterns, such as stunted growth, dieback of branches, or excessive sprouting, your tree may be dealing with a disease. These abnormalities can be indications of issues like root rot, canker diseases, or even infestations by insects.
Fungi thrive in damp and decaying conditions, and their presence on a tree can be a sign of disease. Look for mushroom-like growths, conks, or cankers on the trunk or branches. Fungal infections can weaken the tree's structure and compromise its overall health.
