TREE INSPECTION
Tree
inspection is an evaluation tool we use to call attention to any
change
in the tree’s health before the problem becomes
too serious. By providing
regular inspections of mature trees at least once a year,
we can prevent
or reduce the severity of future disease, insect, and environmental
problems. During tree inspection, we examine four characteristics of tree
vigor: new
leaves or buds, leaf size, twig growth, and absence of crown
dieback (gradual death of the
upper part of the tree).
A reduction in the extension of shoots
(new growing parts), such as buds
or new leaves, is a fairly reliable clue that the
tree’s health has recently
changed. To evaluate this factor, we compare the growth of the
shoots
over the past three years. We then determine whether
there is a reduction
in the tree’s typical growth pattern.
Further signs of poor tree health
are trunk decay, crown dieback, or both.
These symptoms often indicate problems that
began several years before.
Loose bark or deformed growths, such as trunk conks
(mushrooms), are
common signs of stem decay.
Any abnormalities found during these
inspections, including insect activity
and spotted, deformed, discolored, or dead leaves
and twigs, are noted
and watched closely. Depending on our findings our ISA
Certified Arborist
can then advise you on possible treatment options or remedial actions.
