dying tree in field

维护你的家和院子是第二种,但你忘记了你的树木吗?

You may not give those old trees in your yard a second thought, but that familiar old tree may be dying.

What’s the big deal about a dead tree? More than you realize.

Dead trees are a serious safety hazard. All it takes is one storm for an old tree to come toppling down. Dead tree debris can damage your roof, power lines, car, and even your neighbor’s home.

不要让垂死的树成为责任。在为时已晚之前观看这些关键迹象。

垂死的树干看起来像什么?

There are several ways to identify a dead tree. The first thing you need to do is to inspect the tree trunk.

在树干上寻找可见的垂直划痕或线条。严重的裂缝也会出现在死树干上。您还将在那里找到修补程序,在那里没有树皮。

依靠树皮的昆虫也将“接管”一根死树干。通常,健康的树可以修复自己。然而,死树木被吠叫甲虫和其他昆虫的孔爆发。

这也可能触发你的膝上腺恐惧症!

Dying Bark

当你检查树干时,仔细看看树的树皮。树皮上的裂缝,线条和裂缝是垂死的树的迹象,但还有更多。

For starters, dead tree bark will flake and fall off the tree. Look for chunks of loose tree bark. If the bark easily scrapes off, you have a problem.

另一个尖端是抓住你的手指,略微划伤树皮的表面。如果它在棕色下面,而不是绿色,那么你知道你的树已经死了。

Dead Tree Branches

接下来,看看树的分支机构。

Just like a tree’s trunk, dying tree branches will also have loose and flaky bark. Wood-boring insects will also take over a tree’s branches and even cause the branches to fall off.

Broken branches are another sign of a dying tree, but not for all trees. For example, some tree species, like pecan trees, will lose its branches despite being healthy. In that case, you would need to inspect the branches to make sure they’re still alive inside.

树木真菌和疾病也会导致分支破损。如果有的话,你还会注意到在垂死的树枝上很少的叶子。

Dying tree branches also suffer from “weak joints.” Look closely at where the branches meet on the tree.

如果您确实有死树枝,请立即删除它们。失去分支是您在您的财产上最大的负债之一。更糟糕的是,死树枝可能会破坏行人。

Dead and Diseased Tree Roots

你检查了你的树干,树皮和分支机构。接下来,您需要仔细检查树的根源。这部分可能需要有点挖掘,所以抓住铲子!

Expose just enough of the roots so that you can inspect them from the bottom. The first sign you should look for is slippery and slimy roots! This sign means your roots have been overtaken by disease.

Look for visible knots and a “fibrous” texture too. Dead tree roots can also be dry and brittle. You may also find strange small branches sticking out from the dead roots, indicating stunted growth.

If the roots are brittle, that’s a clear indication that your dead tree may topple over soon. Dead roots can’t support the weight of a dying tree.

Look Closely at the Leaves

就像任何植物循环一样,叶子生长,生活和死亡。这就是为什么它是令人窒息的叶子而不是单独识别死树。但是,有一些技巧。

Ask yourself: when was the last time your tree produced healthy, green leaves? If it’s been a while, you may have a dead tree on your hands. One of the first signs of a diseased and damaged tree is a severe lack of leaf production.

另一个标志是叶子的颜色和纹理。如果你的树叶在其峰值生长季节期间是棕色而脆弱,那么你的树有一个问题。死树枝也将抓住它的死叶。

Deciduous trees and evergreen trees will also show different signs. For deciduous species, look for an overabundance of dead leaves during its primary growing season. If the leaves are yellow and not green during the growing season, that’s also a cause for concern.

Dead evergreen trees, on the other hand, will have brown or red needles when they should be lush green. If your tree’s needles are yellow, that’s a sign of a stressed tree. Stressed trees aren’t dead, but they’re on the verge of dying.

Types of Tree Fungus and Diseases

树木经常死于真菌或疾病。这就是为什么it’s crucial to identify tree diseases when they start. Early detection could save your tree.

These are the most common tree diseases and fungus, according toLawn and Landscape Magazine:

  • Anthracnose.
  • Diplodia tip blight
  • 雪松生锈
  • Apple Scab
  • Lethal yellow of palm
  • Oak Wilt
  • 白粉病
  • Dothistroma needle blight of pines

You should also research common tree diseases in your local area, as some conditions may be more prominent than others. A tree removal expert could also help you identify the specific disease that’s killing your tree.
