Identifying diseased trees or branches is not easy and surely comes with a learning curve. However, there are indeed some more obvious signs to watch out for.
Not only for aesthetics or for your pruning activity, but above all for security reasons, we need to watch out for our trees and ensure they are healthy. Fallen trees or branches can cause damage to your home or garden.
Dry and brittle branches, that fall to the ground are a sight of concern. A healthy branch is moist and flexible and therefore difficult to break. So if you find many twigs and branches under your tree it’s a sign your tree needs help.
Has the colour of the leaves changed? A fungus or bacteria could be the culprit. Note that during the cool, wet months, your trees are more prone to infection than during hot, dry season.
Do you observe that the bark is coming off the tree? Most probably, your tree has either an infection or doesn’t receive enough nutrients. Another reason could be an insect infestation. Since the bark serves as a protection to the tree and acts as a barrier for harsh weather or pests, it is advised to consult an expert, when you spot significant peeling of the bark.
Some trees sound hollow when you knock on them. This is due to decaying wood inside the trunk. A decay affects the strength of the tree and needs professional intervention in order to avoid the tree to fall and cause damage.
Watch out for visible fungus growth on the trunk or branches. The large spots usually indicate that the tree is rotting internally.
For straight forward intervention you can opt for our wide range of pruning tools, that will help you to cut of dry or infected branches with ease. From Bypass tree loppers or foldable saw to a battery powered pruning shears and saw kit, those are the tools for smaller branches within reach. Opt for a battery powered multitool with telescopic shaft, like the MT 500e Kit, if you are aiming for those high branches or treat yourself to the power of a chainsaw. No matter if you prefer a petrol or battery model, we have got you covered.
If unsure about your tree’s health, contact a professional tree removal company as soon as you can. A dead tree on your property comes with many risks. A tree service will be able to evaluate the situation and recommend further steps.
