What Should I Do If I Think My Tree Is Dead?

2/22/2018

0 Comments

 
People may not think anything is wrong with a tree until it falls to the ground unexpectedly.  Few assume a tree is in good health, but this is not always the case. A tree can give signals that something is wrong.  A cheap tree cutting service in Placentia can help you spot signs and symptoms to clarify the health of a tree.  An old tree may have a natural beauty to admire, but it helps to get an idea if the tree in question is aging gracefully or if it’s dying.  

​6 Warning Signs to Know


Some signs, if left untreated for too long, may lead to the demise of the tree.  Sometimes a tree can be very sick, but a cheap tree cutting service in Placentia can offer treatment options to save the tree before it is too late. 
Picture
 Here are six signs and causes to look for in a tree that is sick or dying:
  1. Branches that snap or break easily with cracks. A healthy tree will have flexible branches.
  2. Decay caused by fungi. Certain fungi are okay, but if the wood crumbles or is soft, it could be decayed.
  3. Lack of new growth or failing to shed dead leaves. As the seasons change, a healthy tree will create new buds that lead to the growth of new leaves after shedding the old ones.
  4. The tree doesn’t stand straight. Do you notice the tree tilting to one side? Work on correcting the pattern of growth before damage occurs to the roots.
  5. Missing bark or wood. Also known as cankers, a tree may have missing areas or wood or bark accompanied by splits or cracks. The tree may not be as strong as you think.
  6. Damage from insects. Infestation can be treated early if you know the warning signs. A tree may leak white fluid, have holes in the branches or trunk, or may lose leaves suddenly.

Taking Action

A cheap tree cutting service in Placentia can assist by inspecting the tree and provide treatment options if the tree can be saved. If the tree has a disease or is sick options such as anti-fungal agents (fungus removal) or insecticides (eliminate insects) can help restore health.  Tree cabling is an option for realignment (growth correction).  If the tree cannot be saved, a professional tree service can assist with removal.
