At our company we want you to avoid this costly expense by helping you care for your trees in the right way. So first things first, why do trees die anyway? Here, we’ll go over what causes trees to wither away and explain preventative measures you can take to ensure your tree’s overall health.
Death from its environment, Death from harmful insects and diseases, Death from a catastrophic event, Death from age-related collapse (starvation) and of course, Death from harvest. Death is the result of several causes.
Significant tree losses can occur during a forest fire or even when exposed to tornado-strength winds. Trees take a terrible hit when heavy ice is deposited on species sensitive to limb weight which results in breakage. Floods that do not recede quickly can cause root oxygen levels to diminish to the point where tree damage can occur. Extraordinary drought makes quick work of moisture-loving tree species and can harm all trees when extended over a long period.
These “common” diseases include three bad ones: Armillaria root rot, oak wilt, and anthracnose. These pathogens invade the tree through leaves, roots and bark wounds and damage a trees vascular system if not prevented or treated. We are able to prevent the tree from dying as we know all the modern technics,, depend on us to help out with tree survival with any weather or any hardships.
Harmful insects are opportunistic and often invade trees under stress from environmental problems or disease. They not only can directly cause tree death but will spread harmful disease fungi from a host tree to surrounding trees. Insects can attack a tree’s cambial layer by boring for food and nesting cavities, or they can defoliate a tree to the point of death. When your tree is infected call us to prevent it by treatment.
For trees who beat the odds and live through maturity to old age, there is a slow dying process that may take centuries to complete (in long-lived species). The modular tree compartmentalizes around damage and infected areas and continues to grow. Still, growth starts slowing after a tree matures, the ability of the plant to support itself diminishes and incurs the loss of adequate foliage for hydration and food.
New immature branches, called epitomic sprouts, try to assist in maintaining an old tree’s vigor but are weak and are insufficient to sustain life for very long. A mature tree slowly collapses under its weight and crumbles to become the nutrients and topsoil for future trees.

Naturally, some healthy trees die from old age. However, there are many trees that die prematurely due to improper care and maintenance. Environmental stressors, for instance, can cause severe damage to an unhealthy tree. A strong gust of wind may even uproot a tree, causing it to fall down. This can result in property damage, or worse, physical damage to someone standing in the tree’s vicinity. However, there are certain steps you can take to minimize your tree’s risk of succumbing to wind throw.

The first step to treating a diseased tree is to determine what is afflicting it. This requires professional expertise, so if you suspect that your tree has become infected, don’t hesitate to call us and one of our expert arborists. Bacteria, fungi, and viruses are all potential culprits. Once we have an accurate diagnosis, we will be able to take the appropriate corrective action. For instance, spraying the tree with a chemical agent and removing and pruning the impacted branches could be enough to do the trick. Which leads us to our next point.

Human error is another reason trees may wither away. In order for a tree to stay healthy, it needs the right care from us. That means proper upkeep, such as pruning, trimming, and shaping your trees on a regular basis. Evergreen trees should be pruned every three to five years, whereas ornamental trees should be pruned annually. You should also add soil nutrients to your trees every one to three years.

Preventative care will keep your trees healthy, helping you to save countless dollars in the long run. But careless pruning and root removal can wind up costing you more money over time. That’s why it’s best to consult us for your local arborist. Our A professionals can explain the best time of year to prune your trees based on species and will help assess the overall health of your tree. Our arborist can also help keep you informed about when your tree needs to be serviced. With busy lives, it’s easy to become distracted and forgetful. But we’ll make sure to send you reminders when it’s time to service your tree.

Taking care of your trees while they are still young will help them to last well into old age. If you suspect that your tree is dead or decaying, contact us for a proper assessment. We offer tree removal services should we determine that your tree cannot be salvaged.
If you’re uncertain of your tree’s health and overall condition, it’s also a good idea to give us a call. Certain conditions such as disease can be remedied fairly easily if caught early on. There are many reasons why trees die, but there’s few reasons they have to. With the proper expertise and attention, your trees will most certainly grow with a flourish.
