Identifying Tree Diseases: Signs Your Tree May Be Sick

You may want to promptly contact one of our arborists if you notice any of the following issues. These warning signs often stem from common tree planting and tree care mistakes that can jeopardize your tree’s overall health. 

Some of the Most Common Tree Planting Mistakes Include:

Leaf Issues

  • Your tree is losing leaves abnormally
  • Your tree’s leaves have insects or sap on them
  • Your tree’s leaves are yellowing
  • Your tree’s leaves have brown spots or holes

Leaf issues can often be a sign of environmental stresses such as drought or nutrient deficiency.

Branch Issues

  • Your tree has dead or broken branches
  • Your tree has long, heavy branches
  • Your tree’s branches are hitting buildings/structures
  • Your tree’s branches have become potentially hazardous
  • Your tree’s branches are growing abnormally

Bark Issues

  • Your tree’s bark has holes in it
  • Your tree’s bark is peeling off the trunk/branches
  • Your tree’s trunk has cracks or splits in it
  • Your tree is excreting excess sap or showing signs of discoloration

Root System Issues

  • Your tree has had mulch built up around it
  • Your tree was planted too deep
  • Your tree has had the ground around it compacted
  • Your tree’s base is being sprayed by irrigation
  • Your tree has had recent construction activity underneath it
  • Your tree is suffocating from poor drainage
  • Your tree is suffering from poor soil conditions
  • Your tree’s roots are impacting your foundation (sidewalk, driveway, etc.)

Reno’s Unique Climate: Why Regular Tree Inspections Matter

Reno’s high-desert climate can pose unique challenges for local trees. Fluctuating temperatures, low humidity, and periods of drought may weaken root systems, making trees more susceptible to pests and diseases. Mature trees provide cooling shade during summer, which is particularly beneficial in Reno’s high-desert climate.

Regular inspections and proper care are crucial to ensure:

  • Optimal Hydration: Drought conditions can stress trees, leaving them vulnerable to infestations. Overwatering can also pose a threat to the health of your trees. 
  • Healthy Soil: Compacted or nutrient-deficient soil contributes to poor root development.
  • Structural Integrity: High winds and sudden temperature shifts can cause branches to weaken or break.

A holistic approach to tree care involves continuous monitoring and nurturing to prevent potential issues. With consistent check-ups from American Arborists, you’ll know exactly what your trees need to thrive in Reno’s distinctive environment.

Preventive treatment is essential in creating optimal conditions to prevent problems from arising.

How American Arborists Can Help Keep Your Trees Healthy

Proper plant health involves regular inspections and targeted treatments, such as nutrient supplementation, pest control, and disease prevention, to maintain your trees’ well-being. Our team of Reno tree health care professionals is prepared around the clock to:

Diagnose Your Trees’ Problems

We begin by carefully assessing your trees—examining the leaves, branches, bark, and roots—for any signs of disease, stress, or insect infestation.

Suggest a Treatment Plan

Based on our findings, we determine whether pruning, fertilization, soil amendments, or pest control measures are needed to restore your tree’s health. We also recommend preventative strategies to help minimize the risk of future issues. A comprehensive plant health care program is essential to maintain your tree’s vitality and prevent long-term damage.

Put Your Plan into Action

Once the plan is in place, we take action by pruning infected areas, removing hazardous limbs, and treating any insect infestations. We also provide wound care for damaged trees and conduct soil testing to ensure your trees have the nutrients and conditions they need to thrive.

By preventing and addressing disease, you also avoid the liability of poorly maintained trees while enhancing the overall value of your property. Healthy trees can substantially boost property value by elevating both the visual appeal and environmental benefits of the landscape.

Maintaining mature trees is crucial as they are a significant asset that enhances the property’s value.
