If you’re like most people, you probably think of diseases as something that affects humans and other animals. However, plants can also get sick – and trees are no exception. In this blog post, we will discuss some common signs that your tree may have a disease. Keep an eye out for these symptoms, so you can get treatment for your tree before the problem gets worse!
Changes to the Leaves of the Tree
One of the most common signs that your tree may have a disease is if it starts to lose leaves prematurely. This can be a sign of many different diseases, so it’s important to take note of any other symptoms that may be present. If your tree is losing leaves and also has discoloured or wilted leaves, this is another sign that something might be wrong.
Changes to the Bark
If you notice any changes in the bark of your tree, this could also be a sign of a problem. The bark may start to peel, crack or split – and in some cases, it may even fall off the tree entirely.
Fungus
Fungus can be a sign of many different diseases, so it’s important to take note of any other symptoms that may be present. If your tree has fungus, it’s important to get treatment for the tree as soon as possible.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to contact a professional tree care company right away. Our team at Brockley Tree Service will be able to diagnose the problem and recommend the best course of treatment. Don’t wait – the sooner you get help, the better chance your tree has of making a full recovery!
