Frequently Asked Questions About Tree Services

How do I know if a tree is dying?

A dying tree can exhibit several signs, but it's essential to remember that some signs may also indicate stress or other problems that are treatable. Here are some common indicators of a dying tree:
  • Extensive dieback: Large portions of the tree's crown are dead, with no signs of new growth.
  • Severe bark damage: Large sections of bark are missing or severely damaged, exposing the inner wood.
  • Root decay: Mushrooms or conks growing at the base of the tree, indicating fungal decay in the root system.
  • Leaning precariously: The tree is leaning significantly and showing signs of instability.
  • No leaves or buds: During the growing season, the tree is completely bare of leaves and shows no signs of new buds forming.
  • Woodpecker holes: While a few woodpecker holes are not necessarily a cause for concern, numerous holes can indicate insect infestation or decay within the tree.
It's essential to consult with a certified arborist to confirm whether a tree is dying or can be saved. They can assess the tree's condition, identify the cause of the decline, and recommend the best course of action.

Why is my tree dripping sap?

Sap dripping from a tree can be caused by several factors:
  • Insect Infestation: Some insects, like aphids, scales, or borers, feed on tree sap, causing it to drip or ooze from wounds or feeding sites.
  • Disease: Certain diseases, like bacterial wetwood or slime flux, can cause sap to flow excessively from cracks or wounds in the bark.
  • Mechanical Injury: Wounds or cuts in the bark, caused by pruning, storms, or other physical damage, can lead to sap dripping.
  • Environmental Stress: Extreme heat, drought, or other environmental stresses can sometimes cause trees to produce excess sap.
If you notice sap dripping from your tree, it's important to identify the cause to determine the appropriate course of action. A certified arborist can help diagnose the problem and recommend treatment or management options.

How long does it take for a tree stump to rot?

The time it takes for a tree stump to rot depends on several factors, including:
  • Tree species: Some tree species have harder, more decay-resistant wood than others.
  • Climate: Warm, humid climates accelerate decomposition, while cold, dry climates slow it down.
  • Moisture: Stumps in moist soil or those exposed to regular rainfall will decompose faster than those in dry conditions.
  • Insect and Fungal Activity: Insects and fungi play a crucial role in breaking down wood. Stumps that are accessible to these organisms will rot faster.
In general, it can take anywhere from 3 to 7 years or even longer for a tree stump to decompose naturally. Stump grinding is a much faster solution, removing the stump immediately.

How close to a house can you plant a tree?

The recommended distance for planting a tree from a house depends on the tree's mature size and root system. As a general rule, plant trees at least:
  • 10 feet away from foundations for small trees (mature height under 30 feet).
  • 20 feet away from foundations for medium-sized trees (mature height 30-70 feet).
  • 30 feet or more away from foundations for large trees (mature height over 70 feet).
Planting too close can lead to root damage to foundations, sidewalks, or underground utilities. It's always a good idea to research the mature size and root system of the specific tree species you're considering and consult with a certified arborist for guidance on proper placement.
