What you can do yourself
Three things that keep a tree healthy and disease free, before anybody needs to call us.
Mulch
Leave the trunk room
- If you put mulch around your trees, leave some space around the trunk to let it breathe and avoid rotting the wood.
Water
Especially in a dry spell
- Watering your trees during prolonged times of no rain. The tree's roots move up toward the top of the ground to search for water, this can weaken the tree's root structure.
Pruning
The right cut matters
- Proper pruning. You should always use a tree service company with a certified arborist who knows the trees of Memphis. A wrong cut can leave the tree susceptible to disease.
Signs of a diseased tree
One of the most obvious signs of a diseased tree are visible mushrooms growing on the trunk or around the base of the tree. If you see these, it is very important you call a certified arborist to assess the health of the tree.
Robinson Tree has a certified arborist who is also a graduate urban forester. He can give your trees a preventative checkup to make sure your trees are disease free and healthy.
We also work in partnership with one of the leading experts on different diseases of the Midsouth’s trees. Dr. Mark Follis holds a PhD in horticulture. He owns Bluff City Tree Preservation.
A tree can look stable and not be
Maintenance now prevents disaster later. A diseased tree like one with root rot may look stable. But, as soon as there is a lot of rain or a strong wind that tree most likely will blow over because the root structure has been damaged. Have you looked at your trees lately?
