Top 5 Signs of a Diseased or Dying Tree:
A little pile of sawdust at the base
This may be caused by insects boring into the wood, a hidden clue that something’s wrong.
Peeling bark
Bark acts as a tree’s protective skin. When it starts peeling away, this is a common sign that the tree may be weakened.
Holes or cavities in the trunk
What looks like a small hollow could be evidence of deeper structural damage. Typically caused from woodpeckers looking for some tasty insects or squirrels making it their home.
Dead or rotting limbs
Brittle or decayed branches are not only unhealthy, but also a major safety hazard. Even small limbs can be dangerous, and the weight of a large limb or tree can do catastrophic damage.
Mushrooms or fungal growth around the base
Mushrooms or fungi growing on or around the trunk or roots indicate significant internal decay. The sight of mushrooms is a sign to remove the tree immediately.
Stay safe this winter by being more aware of the status of your trees.
