At Midstate Tree Service, we help homeowners protect their trees before it’s too late. Tree diseases can spread quickly, weakening or killing even the strongest trees—often without obvious warning signs. Catching the early symptoms can save your trees, your property, and your wallet.
🍂 1. Discolored or Wilting Leaves
Leaves that turn yellow or brown out of season, appear spotted, or start curling may indicate diseases like anthracnose, root rot, or bacterial infections. Watch for entire sections of a tree where the leaves suddenly change color or fall off prematurely.
🌳 2. Cracks or Splits in the Trunk
Visible cracks or deep splits in the bark can mean structural weakness due to disease or decay. This damage can quickly become hazardous, especially in storms or high winds.
🍄 3. Fungal Growth or Mushrooms at the Base
If you notice mushrooms, shelf fungi, or other strange growths near the base of your tree, this is often a sign of internal rot. It means the roots or inner trunk could be decaying—even if the canopy looks healthy.
🐛 4. Insect Infestations or Holes in the Bark
Diseases and pests often go hand-in-hand. Small holes, sawdust-like material, or sap leaking from the bark could mean your tree is under attack by borers, beetles, or termites—many of which target already weakened trees.
🌿 5. Dead or Dropping Branches
Frequent falling branches—especially in calm weather—are a major red flag. This can mean the tree is stressed or diseased and unable to support its own weight.
