These guys are the best. Gave me a great price and did a great job. We have a silver maples that’s about 4 trees in one and they gave it a great hair cut. The thing is a monster but they have the right equipment to handle it. They went over everything with me to make sure I was happy. We definitely feel safer and so do my neighbors. Highly recommended!

Top Signs of Declining Tree Health

By East Coast Tree Service • March 25, 2025

When a tree's health begins to decline, it can quickly become a safety hazard or a visual disaster. At East Coast Tree Service, we specialize in diagnosing and treating tree health issues for residential and commercial properties throughout eastern Massachusetts. Recognizing the early warning signs of a struggling tree can help prevent property damage and costly removals. Here are the top indicators that your tree may be in decline. Dead or Dying Branches One of the most noticeable signs of tree distress is an abundance of dead or brittle branches. If you see limbs that are losing bark, failing to produce leaves, or breaking off easily, your tree may be suffering from disease, pest infestations, or root damage. Dead branches can become a safety risk, especially during storms or high winds, making professional tree care essential. Fungal Growth & Decay Mushrooms, conks, or fungal growth at the base of the tree often indicate internal decay. Fungi thrive on rotting wood, which means that by the time they appear, the tree may already have significant structural issues. If left untreated, decay can weaken the trunk and roots, increasing the likelihood of collapse. Leaf Discoloration & Premature Shedding Healthy trees should maintain vibrant foliage during their growing season. If your tree’s leaves are turning yellow, brown, or falling off too soon, it could be a sign of nutrient deficiencies, disease, or root system damage. Wilting or curling leaves may also indicate a lack of water absorption due to compromised roots. Cracks or Cavities in the Trunk Visible cracks, holes, or peeling bark on a tree trunk can signal underlying stress or disease. While some trees naturally shed bark as they grow, deep splits or hollow sections suggest internal decay, which can weaken the tree’s structural integrity. Protect Your Trees with Professional Care If you notice any of these signs of declining tree health, don’t wait until it’s too late. East Coast Tree Service offers expert tree health diagnostics and care to restore tree vitality and prevent potential hazards. Call our local arborists in Reading at 781-518-8014 to schedule a consultation and keep your trees healthy for years to come!
