Tree information

WOUNDS, CAVITIES, CABLES & BRACING

Wounds are openings in the bark that expose trees to insect and disease attack. Be careful not to wound trees with lawn mowers, string-type weed trimmers, vehicles or heavy equipment, improper pruning, or any other cause.

If trees are wounded, remove all loose bark and cut off any wood protruding from the wound. As when pruning, there is no need to paint the wound, since this has not been proven to prevent decay. Stimulate tree growth by fertilizing, watering, and pruning - this will help the wound to callus rapidly.

Prevent cavities from developing by pruning out dead, diseased or broken limbs. Filling cavities will not stop decay from spreading, or strengthen a tree. Filling a cavity may provide support for callus tissue so it will not "roll" inward. Generally, it's best to leave cavity work to trained arborists. If a cavity has structurally weakened a tree, support from cables or mechanical rods may be needed. Branches with cavities should be removed if the natural shape of the tree can be maintained.

Cable bracing is the use of flexible steel support cables in or between trees to prevent breakage of branches weakened by decay, narrow forks, large, heavy limbs or breakage during high winds. Avoid the need for cable bracing by pruning as the tree grows. Rod bracing should be used where decay has developed, where a fork has split, or to hold rubbing branches together or apart. Cable and rod bracing are recommended for high value trees where personal injury or property damage is likely, and should be left to professionals.

Insect and Disease Pests

Insect and disease pests often attack trees which are already under stress or weakened. Drought, improper planting, and disturbance of the root system through digging or addition of soil to the root area can make trees more susceptible to attack. Find out why the tree is weak and treat the primary cause of stress.

Examine your trees regularly, looking for anything out of the ordinary: sap coming out of the bark, bark falling off, decaying wood, holes in the bark or leaves, leaves changing color early, and swellings or sunken areas on branches or the trunk. Mushrooms at the base of a tree can indicate root rot. Try to identify the cause of the symptom. Not all pests require control measures, and some have no practical control.

Always identify the pest before applying "sprays" to control it. A good fungicide will never control an insect population. If you cannot diagnose a problem, get professional assistance from a local nurseryman, professional arborist, the SC Forestry Commission, or Clemson University Cooperative Extension Service.

How can I save a tree with internal rot?

· You can’t. You can try to slow its decline, but you can’t stop the decay.

· The best--and cheapest--intervention is usually to help the tree do its own work of containing the decay. Supply weekly water during dry spells and provide 2-6" of organic mulch.

Fertilization will usually not help much, although aerating the soil to promote root growth is nearly always beneficial to older trees

Hayling Garden Services

From felling or dismantling in sections, trees which are unsafe or unsuitable for their location. We can also make trees safer by removing dead, damaged or diseased branches or often have to thin the crown of the tree to allow more light to filter through the canopy.
