Signs Your Tree Is Dying or Damaged
Your home and family’s safety are in peril if a tree is dead or dying. A damaged tree is more likely to fall over during a storm than a healthy one. Hiring a tree service to evaluate your property’s trees and assess whether further action is necessary can be a smart move if you fear a tree is dying or damaged.
The Cambium Layer is not Green
The second layer of the tree, immediately below the outer bark, is called the cambium layer. Simply use a knife or fingernail to remove a little piece of bark to inspect the color of this layer. On the outside, there ought to be a healthy, green layer under the tough bark. Your tree may be dying if it is not green on this layer. Examine the same layer in a different section of the tree. There is a considerable possibility that your tree is dead, dying, or severely injured if there is no green present in the cambium layer.
The Tree Is Leaning
A tree that is leaning is not always dead. Yet, a large lean in a tree suggests that the roots may have been harmed. Your tree is not likely to live for very long if this is the case. This is valid for trees that sag owing to harm, deterioration, or even powerful winds.
You Can See Root Damage
Due to the fact that most trees’ roots extend well below the surface of the earth, root damage can be difficult to assess. If this is the situation with your tree, you might wish to consider any recent work that has been done in its vicinity. A root may have been harmed if any digging was done. It’s also possible that adverse weather conditions and poor soil quality have had an effect on the health of your tree if roots are visible on or close to the surface. Your tree will probably appear sick if this is the case, with dead limbs, fewer foliage, dead or brown leaves, etc.
