10 signs your tree may be dead or dying!
- Sticks are all over the ground. A healthy tree should have strong, flexible branches. If you see lots of sticks, it may be time for an inspection.
- Brittle branches. These branches are usually diseased or dead and could mean a majority of your tree may also be dead.
- Bark is falling off. If you see this, it means your tree isn’t getting the nutrients it needs.
- No green under the bark. This is another sign that your tree isn’t getting nutrients.
- Visible rot or fungus. This is bad news and if caught too late, then the tree may be too far gone.
- Termites or other pests. These pests need to be handled quickly. If the structural integrity is compromised, then the tree will have to come down.
- Tree is leaning. If the tree didn’t grow that way, then it shouldn’t be leaning. This could be a sign of root damage.
- Open wounds. Unlike intentional cuts for tree trimming, jagged tree wounds can lead to tree death.
- Missing leaves. Besides seasonal leaf shedding, a lack of leaves can mean the flow of nutrients isn’t reaching the leaves. Often the damage is irreversible.
- Root damage. Sometimes construction or landscaping can injure roots and lead to tree death.
