Trees communicate when they're in trouble. You just need to know what to look for. Early signs of stress can be addressed before they become major problems. Here are the red flags:
Yellowing leaves when new growth should be green, excessive branch drop without a storm, bark peeling or cracking, oozing sap, and branches that die back during the growing season are all signs of stress. Sometimes it's a pest, sometimes it's disease, sometimes it's a water or soil problem.
The good news? A professional can diagnose the issue and often save the tree. Catching problems early makes all the difference.
