Warning Signs of Tree Problems

Friday, October 10, 2008


Trees often advertise their problems as clearly as a billboard on I95. Are the leaves changing color too early? Are the branches bare at the tips? Do you see a lot of deadwood? These are just a few of the ways your tree can advertise that it’s in trouble.

Trees of the same type usually change color and drop their leaves at about the same time. For example, if you have three Maples in your yard and one begins changing color before the others, that tree probably has health issues.

Top 5 Fall Warning Signs
1. Die-back or deadwood
2. Decay
3. Early leaf drop or color change
4. Peeling bark
5. Leaves eaten or discolored

If you see any of these signs, please schedule an appointment with your Giroud Arborist. He will do a complete inspection to determine if action is necessary.
