That leaf pile against the trunk? Move it.
Wet leaves packed around the base keep bark damp all winter, inviting rot and giving pests cover. Spread shredded leaves thin across the root zone and keep the root flare clear.
Soft or peeling bark at the base? Our certified arborists can take a look. Link in bio.

Simple before/after: leaf pile against a trunk, then the base cleared with leaves spread thin. A short Reel of the base being raked clear also works. Real job photos strongly preferred over stock.
