How To Spot Tree Damage In Woodstock GA

Woodstock-Tree-DamageNever be deterred from calling in a professional tree removalist or a Certified Arborist if serious doubts about a particular tree’s health arises. In fact, it is wise to have an arborist check your trees on a yearly or seasonal basis, depending on how many are on your property and depending on any serious exposure to inclement weather those trees may have had.

Still, it is easy to spot check trees and know when they are still healthy and do not yet require a call to a professional. There are four basic things to look for when conducting your own tree inspection.

Before learning these four things, always be forewarned and forearmed. A perfectly healthy tree can be rendered unstable due to storms, ice accumulation or heavy gusts of wind.

Tips On Oaks From Woodstock GA Tree Service Experts

Oak-Tree-service-in-GeorgaThe native oaks that grow in our region require truly special care. Their roots share soil with the fungus Amillaria. This fungus lives off of oak roots. In some regions, this particular fungus will remain dormant during hot, dry weather, but it experiences a resurgence when winter rains arrive.

During the dry months, these Woodstock Oak Trees do not need or tolerate irrigation. If irrigation is applied near their trunks, the Amillaria will grow as a result of the warmth and water. While the tree continues to mature, any continued watering around the trunk will foster the fungal infection and this, in turn, will cause the tree to die.

If the tree does not die, it could still fall over because of having too few roots to secure it from top to bottom. This would pose a serious hazard to anyone near the tree. Here are additional steps to take to care for native oaks:
