It is no secret that a lot of tree species need routine upkeep to maintain their overall health and safety. However, to untrained eyes, it could be hard to tell the overall health of a tree. Luckily, a tree risk assessment is a simple way to make sure your trees are thriving like they should be. In this blog, we will go over a few common signs that it is time to schedule a proper tree risk assessment so you can ensure the overall health, safety, and beauty of the trees that are located on your property for years to come. Read on to learn more!
Your Trees Have Fungal Diseases
Fungal diseases are a few of the most common types of tree hazards. If your tree has any fungal growth, this could cause a lot of problems not only for the tree but also the surrounding properties too. Fungal diseases could cause your trees to decay, which could lead to possible hazards such as fallen limbs. Arboreal fungal infections could negatively impact a tree’s root systems, which compromises the tree’s overall structure.
Your Trees Have Pest Infections
A pest infection is another sign that you should schedule a TRA to get treatment and care plans from certified arborists. Like fungal infections, insect infestations are another indicator that your trees may be in bad health. These infestations could weaken the tree over time and cause problems with limb strength and also the root system.
It Has Been Over a Year Since Your Last TRA
Tree risk assessments are highly recommended at least once a year or after serious weather events for the best level of risk management. This helps with early risk detection and management of possible failure risks and also promotes the overall health and safety of your surrounding space. Your tree arborists could recommend the proper maintenance practices, like fertilization, pruning, and disease management, to help mitigate identified risks and ensure the well-being of your tree. Consistent monitoring also allows for tracking any changes in risk factors as time passes, enabling adjustments in management strategies as required. Even if your trees appear to look healthy on the outside, the safest choice is always to consult with a specialist for a checkup as needed.
