When to Call an Arborist For Your Trees

8/23/2013

18 Comments

 
There are trees all over southern Louisiana and most likely in your yard. Trees provide shade, privacy, nuts, fruit, animal habitats, a way to get out the heat and more. With all the benefits trees give we should take our natural job as caretakers seriously. Below are a few easy to spot problems with trees that you should call in an arborist or tree company to analyze.

Tree with Dead or Broken Branches

Trees that have dead branches or partially broken branches should be looked at by an arborist. These branches are only a strong gust of wind away from falling. Branches falling from this height can damage cars, damage homes and injure or kill someone. Taking care of these branches before they fall could save some money or a life. These type of problems should definitely be taken care of before hurricane season each year to help reduce the chance for damage at your home.

Tree with a Clear Break

This one is really a no-brainer. If you have a tree trunk with a complete break, have an arborist see if your tree needs to come down. Usually this happens when other symptoms are ignored beforehand or a very strong hurricane comes.

Tree with a Thin Canopy

A tree where the leaves are getting sparse when other trees of the same species have dense foliage is a sign for alarm. If taken care of early, these trees have a good chance of becoming healthy again. An arborist will be able to diagnose if the tree has a lack of water, nutrition, fungus or insect problem. They will then go through steps with you on how to correct the problem if possible.

Tree with Mushrooms

There could be a dead spot on your tree if there are mushrooms growing on the bark. The mushrooms grown there since there is extra nitrogen from the decaying plant material. If the dead spot is large enough, your tree has a greater chance of falling. Get this checked out soon.

Tree Missing a lot of Bark

A tree that has lost a little bark is usually not a big deal. A Tree that has a 2 foot wide area or larger of missing bark is a big deal. It could be insect damage or a lightning strike. Get in touch with an arborist to identify the problem.

Tree with No Leaves

Unless it is winter, a tree without leaves is most likely already dead. Have an arborist look at it to be certain, but chances are you need to take it down. A tree with all brown leaves when it should be green is another large indicator of a serious problem.

I'm glad you mentioned that a tree with all brown leaves can indicate a problem. There is a tree in my yard where all of the leaves change to brown colors instead of orange or yellow. It might be a good idea for me to find an arborist so that they can check if the tree is alive or not.

Arborists are in charge of not only the health of the trees on your property, but also the safety of the people who live and work there. They are qualified to perform tasks that are potentially dangerous for unskilled individuals, such as climbing into trees to prune massive, potentially unstable branches.

Thanks for pointing out that we should get branches taken care of before they can cause damage to our homes and cars, so we can save money. I guess I need an arborist this weekend to check the tree in the backyard, since it seems to have grown too close to my roof. Some branches are already touching the surface, and I am worried if it might affect the integrity of the house.

It's good to know that investing in tree care prevents your trees from getting sick or infected by unwanted pests! My colleague talked about raising a couple of fruit trees in her yard, such as apples and mangoes! I hope this can convince her to invest in tree care experts once they grow tall enough.

I want to make sure that my trees are healthy. It makes sense that I would want to call an arborist to take a look at them for me. It's nice that they can help keep trees healthy.

Thanks for the info about arborists. My home has a tree that is dying. I'll consider finding a tree service that can remove the dying tree.

One of the trees on our property is missing quite a lot of its bark, and I started to wonder if that meant anything. Reading what you had to say about it definitely alarmed me, specifically because of how it could end up falling onto our house at any time. I wouldn't want to just remove it, so I'll hire a tree service that can safely dispose of it and immediately start replanting another one.

I want to make certain that my trees are in good health. It stands to reason that I would want to hire an arborist to inspect them for me. It's great that they can contribute to the health of trees.

It was interesting when you mentioned that an arborist should look at a tree that has dead or partially broken branches. If a tree has too many broken or dead branches, it might be a sign that the entire thing is dead. If you have a dead tree, you are probably going to want to have the arborist cut it down.

It really helped when you said that mushroom growth on trees would mean that there is a decaying part in it. I should call tree services here in High Point, North Carolina to see if we have that kind of issue in one of those in the backyard. It's because I noticed the mushrooms you were talking about when I was clearing the backyard from Christmas decorations.

I never knew that mushrooms growing was a bad sign. My daughter told me last night at dinner about how she found mushrooms growing around the tree in our backyard, so I was wondering if that was a bad sign since I've never seen that happen before. I'll have to look into hiring a professional tree company as soon as possible.

My sister has a huge backyard, and the last time I was there for her monthly BBQ party, I noticed some weird-looking mushrooms growing out of her trees. I'm glad you described the importance of calling an arborist if we find dead spots with growing mushrooms, so I'll make sure my sister knows this. Thanks for the insight on knowing when it's time to call professional help to avoid falling trees.

I appreciated you pointing out that a strong hurricane can damage your trees. My friend wants to get their trees trimmed. I should advise her to hire a tree trimming service to ensure quality work.
