Healthy trees are beautiful landscape features and provide critical benefits to the environment. However, like basically any living organism, trees can fall victim to diseases that compromise their health and longevity. Recognizing the symptoms of a diseased tree is crucial for early intervention, giving you the best chance to save your tree. At Florida Tree Trimmers, our local arborists are experts at identifying diseased trees. Then, we can determine a course of action for treating the tree, or if necessary, we can safely remove it so it doesn’t pose a safety hazard by potentially toppling over. Here are four signs that a tree is diseased. Leaf Discoloration One of the earliest and most noticeable symptoms of a diseased tree is a change in leaf color. Healthy leaves are typically vibrant and uniform in color, but a diseased tree may exhibit yellowing, browning, or spotting. Discoloration can result from various factors such as nutrient deficiencies, fungal infections, or pest infestations. Cankers/Lesions Cankers are localized areas of dead tissue on the bark of a tree, often appearing as open sores or lesions. These wounds can be caused by bacteria, fungi, or physical injuries, and they weaken the tree's natural defenses. As cankers grow, they may disrupt the flow of nutrients and water, leading to further decline. Premature Leaf Drop While shedding leaves is a natural part of a tree's life cycle, premature leaf drop can signal a problem. Trees may drop their leaves prematurely in response to stress, disease, or inadequate environmental conditions. Noting the timing and extent of leaf drop can help identify the specific issue affecting the tree. Fungal Growth When fungi colonize a tree's tissues, it can lead to decay and deterioration. The presence of fungal growth—such as mushrooms or conks—on the trunk or around the base of the tree is a clear indication of internal decay. Fungi can weaken the structural integrity of the tree, potentially creating a safety hazard. Prompt identification and treatment are essential to mitigate the impact of fungal infections.

Trees not only enhance the beauty of your surroundings but also provide numerous benefits, including cleaner air, shade, and wildlife habitat. When planting a tree, it’s important to follow some key guidelines that’ll help to ensure the tree’s health in its new location. At Florida Tree Trimmers, we’re happy to offer guidance on how to successfully select and plant new trees. Here are some helpful tips for the process. Choose the Right Tree Selecting the right tree for your location is the first and most crucial step in the tree-planting process. Consider factors like your climate zone, soil type, and the tree's mature size. Native species often thrive in their natural environments, so they are excellent choices for sustainability and low maintenance. Select a Suitable Location Choose a location for your tree that provides adequate sunlight and sufficient space for its mature size. Be mindful of overhead obstructions like power lines or buildings and avoid planting near driveways or sidewalks to prevent root damage. Make sure the soil drains according to the particular tree species’ needs. Prepare the Soil Before planting, it’s smart to test your soil to determine its pH and nutrient levels. You can amend the soil by adding organic matter like compost or well-rotted manure. Loosening the soil in the planting area will help the roots establish themselves more easily. Aim for a hole that is two to three times wider than the root ball but no deeper. Plant at the Right Depth The root flare (the area where the roots begin to spread out from the trunk) should be at or slightly above ground level. Planting too deep can lead to root suffocation, while planting too shallow can expose the roots to drying out or damage. While transplanting, handle the root ball gently and keep it moist. Water Properly Newly planted trees need regular watering, especially during their first couple of years. Water deeply and consistently, keeping the root zone moist but not waterlogged. Mulch around the tree to help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Be sure to monitor the tree's water needs, and adjust as needed based on weather conditions.

By getting your trees professionally pruned, you’ll help to ensure that they stay beautiful and healthy, and are not posing safety hazards. At Florida Tree Trimmers, we provide expert tree pruning in the greater Plantation, FL area. Our local arborists can artistically prune your trees to boost your home or business’ curb appeal. Here are five benefits of professional tree pruning. Remove Dangerous Limbs Limbs that are dead/dying/diseased are much more susceptible to breaking off and crashing down, which could cause injuries and/or property damage to your home and vehicles. Such limbs should be removed by an experienced arborist who knows how to safely complete this work while also making clean cuts that allow the tree to properly heal. Enhance the View If a big tree is obstructing what would otherwise be a nice view from your home, then you can enlist our local arborists to do some pruning that improves the view, while also being mindful of the tree’s health. Train Young Trees Trees typically need their first pruning somewhere between ages three and five. It’s important to prune trees from a young age, which will encourage them to grow into desirable forms. And by pruning trees early on, you can save yourself from needing massive pruning at some point down the road. More Sunlight For Your Lawn and Garden Beds Lawn grass generally needs six hours of sun at no more than 20% filter. If you have a big tree above your lawn that has an overgrown canopy, then your lawn and garden plants may be getting shaded out to the point that they can’t grow strongly. With a proper pruning, more light will reach them, enabling more vigorous growth. Aesthetic Appeal At Florida Tree Trimmers, our crew can shape your trees into forms that add curb appeal to your property. We’ll work meticulously to ensure your trees look beautiful.

If you have a large tree in your yard that is unhealthy, then it could be at significant risk of toppling over in high winds, which could inflict injuries and cause costly property damage to your home and/or vehicles. Trees that appear to be dead or dying should be brought to the arborist’s attention ASAP so that they can be inspected and a course of action can be determined. At Florida Tree Trimmers, our local arborists are experts at identifying trees that are unhealthy and creating safety risks. And we provide expert tree removal in the greater Plantation, FL area. Signs of an Unhealthy Tree Indications that a tree is dead/dying/diseased include: rot, leaf loss, widespread fungal growth, extensive insect damage, open wounds, and heavy leaning. If your tree has any of these symptoms, you’ll want to notify the arborist before the next windstorm arrives. It’s possible that only an unhealthy portion of the tree will have to be removed. If your tree has any large dead limbs, they should be promptly removed so that they don’t break off on their own, which could cause damage/injuries. Such limbs are best removed by an experienced arborist so that the cuts are done in such a way that the tree can best recover and the risk of disease is minimized. But if there are signs of poor health throughout the tree, then it’ll need to be safely cut down before it falls over on its own. Root damage is another common issue that causes trees to fall into poor health. Badly damaged roots can cause the tree to become unstable, and more prone to crashing down in strong winds. And with damaged roots, the tree may not be able to take in sufficient nutrients and water to stay healthy. Root damage sometimes occurs during landscaping and excavation projects.

When hurricane season arrives, severe winds can cause your trees to become major safety hazards. But by taking some basic precautions, you can mitigate the risk of your trees inflicting property damage or injuries during the storm. At Florida Tree Trimmers, we can complete tree work on your property to get your trees ready for hurricane season. Here are four ways to prepare your trees for the next big windstorm. Cut Down Dead/Dying Trees Before peak hurricane season is here, it’s particularly important that any dead or dying big trees are removed from your yard. Dead/dying trees are much more prone to crashing down in high winds, which could cause severe property damage and major injuries. Indications that a tree is dead or dying include: leaf loss, severe leaning, extensive fungal infections, and widespread insect damage. Keep Your Trees Healthy Throughout the Year It’s important to keep your trees in strong health throughout the rest of the year so that when a hurricane arrives, your trees will be better able to withstand the wind gusts. You’ll want to make sure your trees receive sufficient water and nutrients. And if a tree becomes afflicted by a fungal infection, you should bring it to the arborist’s attention ASAP so it can hopefully be treated before causing major health problems. Professional Pruning When big limbs are in poor health, they’re liable to break away in heavy winds, and may then crash down and cause damage to your roof or other structures/possessions in the area. During a professional pruning session, dead/dying limbs will be cut out so that this risk is mitigated. Schedule a Visit from an Experienced Arborist Before/After Storm Prior to hurricane season, our local arborists can address safety risks that your trees are creating. And after the storm passes, we can inspect your trees to make sure that they haven’t suffered any serious damage that needs to be addressed.

When a big tree is unhealthy, it can create a serious safety risk. In such a situation, it’s best to have an arborist safely cut down the tree before it comes crashing down in high winds. Once the tree is cut down, the unsightly stump should also be removed so that it doesn’t pose a tripping hazard or attract termites. At Florida Tree Trimmers , we’ve invested in high-quality stump removal equipment that allows us to grind up the stump into wood chips. If you prefer, we can simply haul out all the tree matter that we remove. But it’s also worth considering using the wood chips on your property. Here are four ways you can use wood chips in your yard. Mulch Wood chips can be used as mulch to protect plants during chilly stretches of winter weather. And during periods of little to no rain, wood chips can be beneficial by improving water retention. Wood chips are often used for mulch around fruit trees, well-established shrubs, and woody perennials. Pathways If you’re looking for a budget-friendly material to create pathways through your garden, then wood chips are a great option. They’ll help to keep weeds down, while also giving you a walking surface that is nice and soft. When the chips eventually break down, they can be transferred to your garden soil where they will provide carbon-rich matter. Use in Kids’ Play Area If you have a play set in your backyard, you’ll want to have a soft ground surface to help prevent injuries from hard landings. Wood chips are a good option around jungle gyms and swing sets. As a bonus, they’ll also help to reduce the amount of mud in the play area after heavy rains. Use them for Growing Mushrooms Wood chip substrate is a great material for growing some types of culinary mushrooms, such as wine caps. If you love cooking with tasty fungus, then this could be a fun project for you.
