Signs of a Dying Tree If your tree is sick, there is the opportunity to save it in some situations. However, if your tree is dying or dead, it may pose a risk to your family and home. The good news is, there are some symptoms you can watch for to figure out if your tree is past the point of being saved. Brittle and Brown Bark and Cracks
As a tree begins to die, the bark will get loose and eventually fall off. The tree may also be missing bark or have vertical cracks. Look for deeper splits in the bark that extend to the tree’s wood, or the presence of external or internal cavities. Cracks can create weaknesses that will result in damage if a storm passes through or if there are other bad weather events. Few Healthy Leaves on the Tree With deciduous trees, you should look for signs of branches that have no lush or green leaves. Instead, the only thing you may see is leaves that are brittle and brown when the tree grows. Also, the tree may have dead leaves hanging on into the winter, rather than falling to the ground. A coniferous evergreen may begin to show yellow, brown, or red leaves or needles when it is overly stressed or starting to die. |

Excessive Dead Wood
A few dead branches or the presence of one or two pieces of dead wood is not a sign that your tree is dying on its own. However, if you notice more and more of the deadwood, it is a sign that your tree is sick and in the process of starting to die. If your tree is dead, the branches may fall at any time, which can create a potential hazard to you and to your home.

Fungus and Critters in the Tree
Pests in your tree, such as carpenter ants and bark beetles mean that the tree is stressed or that it is dying. The same is true for bacterial or fungal infections. Inspect the tree for signs of cankers (these are areas of discoloration or places on the bark that appear depressed) or mushrooms that have started to grow at the base of the tree or in the tree. These are all indications that there is rot in the trunk or roots. As time passes, the decay will move further into the tree, and can cause serious structural issues.
Call Us for Help with a Dying Tree
If you have noticed any of the signs of a dying tree on your property, it is best to get in touch with us right away. As the condition gets worse, the tree can pose a serious risk to your property and your family.
Damage, Disease, Safety
Trees, just like any other growing and living thing, are prone to developing diseases. Some of the diseases just create unsightly areas, while others may reduce growth or kill your tree.
If a tree’s defenses are impaired, certain diseases may get ahold of the tree, which can result in an infection and, ultimately, the death of the tree.

The Most Common Causes of Stress in Trees
An array of environmental factors can cause stress in your trees. Some of the most common causes include:
Damage to the roots or stem, overcrowding, and drought are the most common issues that cause stress.
Damage to stems invites an infection by creating entry points for pathogens.
Damage to roots results in points of entry for various pathogens and will reduce your tree’s ability to collect water, which causes stress and makes it more likely to suffer an infection.
Proper tree management will help reduce stress caused by drought, along with mechanical damage. This helps to reduce the issue of diseases in your trees.
Keep reading to get to know the most common tree diseases here. Keep in mind, most of the common foliar diseases are caused by a fungus. Proper treatment, or the lack of it, should be based on the threat that is caused by the disease. Hiring us to evaluate your tree and determine the specific problem is beneficial to ensure the proper treatment is provided.

Needle Diseases
Needle Rusts
This disease appears on the surface of pine needles. While it is not pretty, it does not cause any real issues for the trees it affects.
Needle Casts
Usually grow inside of the pine needles. Sometimes, this condition can cause the needle to fall off of the afflicted tree.
Needle Blights
The needle blights are typically seen growing inside the pine needle. It can cause part of the needle to die.
Treatment for Needle Diseases
The proper treatment for the various needle diseases is based on the specific disease, the tree involved, and where it is located. Usually, needle diseases are just unattractive to look at, but they do not pose any real risk to the tree’s health or survival.
In these situations, treatment is unnecessary, unless, of course, the disease has reduced the tree’s structure.
Leaf Diseases
Anthracnose
This is a fungal disease that typically affects the leaves, but that may also impact the stems of some hardwood species. Serious damage may occur, and there is not much that you can do to reduce this damage. Dead areas or blotches on the leaves are the most common symptom of this condition.

Bagworms
The bagworm is a pest that impacts many different species of deciduous and conifer trees. While this is true, they are most commonly seen on junipers and arborvitae.
Usually, the bagworms will begin feeding at the top portion of the affected tree. While the pests are still small, they will feed in the various layers of the leaf’s tissue, which creates light patches on these leaves. As the bagworms get bigger, they can consume whole leaves or needles. If a tree is dealing with a serious infestation, it may be completely defoliated, which is an issue that may wind up killing the tree.

Eastern Tent Caterpillars
The eastern tent caterpillars will feed on the leaves of a tree during the daytime hours and will stay in their tents at night and when it is raining. While the tents are smaller in size at first, this size will grow over time and become very noticeable.
A well-established, healthy tree will be able to tolerate the feeding of the eastern tent caterpillars. For these trees, the webs and feedings are just cosmetic concerns and they only impact the look of the tree. However, if a tree is young, stressed, or unhealthy, more damage may occur. That is because they are more susceptible to damage caused by the pest’s feeding. As a result, the trees must be protected.

Japanese Beetles
The Japanese Beetle is an extremely destructive garden pest, and it will devour everything that is in its path. This includes healthy and well-tended shrubs and trees. The damage these pests can cause are devastating.
Since the beetle has such a distinctive feeding pattern, the damage that it causes to shrubs and trees is easy to see. The pests will eat the softer tissue found between the veins of the leaves, which leaves a lace-like appearance to them.
