It\u2019s always good to take a walk around your property and notice what\u2019s happening with your trees and shrubs. You may spot something not quite right that could signify an underlying issue with the health of your landscape plants. If you do, it\u2019s important to contact a Certified Arborist to determine what\u2019s causing the problem.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Early color<\/strong> <\/em>\u2013 If you saw early or uneven leaf color during autumn this may indicate problems.<\/p>\n Early defoliation<\/strong><\/em> \u2013 Loss of leaves too early is another red flag indicating a potential tree health issue.<\/p>\n Insects and disease damage<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 Feeding activity on the foliage, loss of leaves or withered foliage, exit holes in the trunk or branches and sawdust like debris are some signs of infestation.<\/p>\n Mushroom growth<\/strong><\/em> \u2013 Mushrooms on the tree or growing near the base may mean root or stem decay.<\/p>\n Soil Deficiencies<\/strong><\/em> \u2013 Visual symptoms combined with a soil analysis can identify if critical macronutrients or micronutrients are missing from the soil beneath your trees and shrubs. Contact a Certified Arborist for a soil test.<\/p>\n Proper Mulching<\/strong><\/em> \u2013 Mulch should not be piled against the trunk. A thin layer from just off the trunk to the outer dripline will best improve the root environment.<\/p>\n Dead or Broken Branches<\/strong><\/em> \u2013 Prune hanging, broken or dead branches for safety and tree health.<\/p>\n Proper Irrigation<\/strong><\/em> \u2013 Water trees deeply, particularly during drought conditions and especially with new transplants. This is even true during winter months.<\/p>\n Protection<\/strong><\/em> \u2013 For salt spray on shrubs or small trees protect foliage with burlap or similar material. Use deer repellant to discourage browsing deer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It\u2019s always good to take a walk around your property and notice what\u2019s happening with your trees and shrubs.
