How can you tell if a tree is unhealthy?
Here are some signs that might indicate your tree is unhealthy:
Changes in leaves: Look for signs like wilting, discoloration (yellowing, browning, etc.), unusual spots or blemishes, or premature dropping of leaves.
Bare branches: If branches are dying or dead, especially when clustered together, it could be a sign of disease or pest infestation.
Bark issues: Peeling or loose bark, cracks, or presence of fungus or mold are not good signs.
Branch death or damage: Dead, broken, or drooping branches are potential hazards and indicate weakness in the tree.
Leaning: A significant lean, especially if it's worsening, suggests instability due to root damage or other issues.
Presence of pests or disease: Visible insects, unusual holes in leaves, or oozing sap can all be signs of infestation or disease.
Poor growth: If your tree seems to be growing much slower than usual, it could be struggling with a health issue.
