Tree health is challenging to determine, yet it is critical for a healthy landscape. Do you need help to select a new tree at the nursery?
Several factors can determine a tree’s health. Here, you can find a few techniques to determine if a tree needs special attention.
Caring for trees is far easier when you use your Trophy Club tree care professionals.
Indicators of tree growth
Color of the foliage and its rate of growth
Healthy trees produce chlorophyll; therefore, pay attention to the color and growth of the leaves. In your yard or nursery, keep looking for trees that have excessive or irregularly timed discoloration. Also, check the edges of the leaves for any signs of dryness or brittleness.
Keep an eye out for new trees that look to have been clipped. This could show that the nursery or supplier eliminated disease or damage by looking at the tree’s appearance. Who knows if they pruned everything correctly or got rid of everything?
Tree Care Professionals Spot Pests and Disease
Inspect the stems, venules, margins, tips, and veins of the leaves for signs of infection or insect damage. Pests that cause disease include:
- Aphids
- Whiteflies
- Leafminers
- Mealybugs
Over-watering and Wilting Needs Trophy Club Tree Care
There is no consideration for over-or under-watering. The tree may be under-watered if the leaves wilt. Watering a tree properly can sometimes, but not always, bring it back to life.
Over-watering can manifest itself as standing water in the soil and dark green or brown leaves. In addition, the tree’s roots may be rotting.
Both are signs of malnutrition. If this occurs in your home garden, contact J Davis to determine which nutrients need to be replenished and how to do so.
Roots Say A Lot To Tree Care Experts
When inspecting the roots of your property, look for damage or signs of pests or disease.
Check a nursery for rootbound trees which have knotted and strained roots because of their rapid growth.
Roots sprouting through drainage holes or over the potting soil are symptoms. This tree should be moved to a larger container or natural soil as soon as possible.
