How do I know when my tree is sick?
There are several signs that can indicate that your tree is sick or in distress. Here are some common signs to look out for:
Discolored or wilting leaves: If the leaves on your tree are turning yellow, brown, or dropping prematurely, this may indicate that your tree is sick.
Fungus or mold growth: If you notice fungus or mold growing on the trunk or branches of your tree, this may indicate that your tree is suffering from a disease.
Cracks or splits in the trunk: Cracks or splits in the trunk of your tree may indicate that it is under stress or suffering from a disease.
Dead or dying branches: If your tree has branches that are dead or dying, this may indicate that the tree is struggling to stay healthy.
Insect infestations: If you notice an unusual amount of insects on or around your tree, this may be a sign that the tree is suffering from a disease or infestation.
Reduced growth or size: If your tree is not growing as quickly as it used to, or if it appears to be shrinking in size, this may indicate that it is not healthy.
If you notice any of these signs, it's a good idea to contact a certified arborist or tree care professional to evaluate your tree's health and provide appropriate treatment.
