Trees across the Akron area and Summit County are bursting with spring growth. If you have trees on your property that are not looking as healthy and full as you think they should, your local tree expert is available to assess, treat, or remove trees before they become a danger in summer storms.
If you haven’t done so yet, do not delay inspecting your trees for snow and ice damage. Broken or dead limbs that are not producing leaves should be removed right away and cracked bark should be addressed immediately to prevent insect infestation.
Any evidence of insect infestation, fungus growth, or disease also should be addressed quickly by a professional to maintain your tree’s health.
Unhealthy trees in Akron, Ohio, will be vulnerable to summer storms and should be removed to avoid potential damage to your property or a neighbor’s. A local tree expert such as GP Tree in Mogadore, Ohio, can help you determine if your tree can be saved or should be removed.
If you are not sure if your Summit County tree should be removed, consider the following:
- Are you seeing a lot of bare branches this spring? If more than half the tree is bare, it may be dying and need to be removed.
- Excessive fungus growing on the trunk of the tree could indicate the tree is rotting on the inside.
- Deep vertical cracks in the bark or areas of missing bark that have not grown back usually indicate poor health.
- If the tree has begun leaning, or if shoots have begun sprouting from the roots at the base of the trunk in larger numbers, this could indicate root damage is impacting the health of your tree..
