Monitoring Trees: Watch for Signs of Declined Health and Risk
Despite the best tree care and preservation efforts, some trees might still lose their health due to construction damage. Symptoms of decline include smaller and fewer leaves, dieback in the crown of the tree, and premature fall color and defoliation, especially during or after construction sites.
Stressed trees are more susceptible to being attacked by certain diseases and pests. Severe damage and decline may also lead to defects and decay. Consult with one of our Arborists for a professional assessment if you are concerned with your tree’s health or structural integrity.
