The Root of the Problem
When we as Arborists are called to diagnose a tree problem, we look at very specific areas and ask very specific questions. Looking at the neighborhood in general, we can spot larger trends geographically. Plants and trees in the location of interest can often tell us a story of common pathogens or insect outbreaks. Obtaining historical facts from the tree owner will often help in establishing a baseline for diagnostics.
Most of the time, 80% of the time in fact, tree problems will be root related. Improper planting, poor soils, establishment issues, and girdling roots are very often the culprit. The good news is that we can correct many root issues with surgical precision.
