Whether your
yard is filled with evergreens, maples, cedar, fir, or cherry; all trees get
sick and eventually die. Interestingly, most trees show the same symptoms
regardless of whether they are evergreen or deciduous (trees with leaves, like
maples). Here’s our Sick Tree Checklist to help you know whether you need a
certified arborist to come to rescue one of your backyard beauties.

Discolored
leaves or needles are not a good thing. For deciduous trees, leaves may appear
yellow in the summer or be falling off during the growing season. Brown and
brittle leaves in the summer are a sure sign something is amiss. For
evergreens, needles will begin to turn red or brown. If the top ⅓ of the tree is fully brown/red – this tree is
most definitely dying. Call a certified arborist right away.
