Why do you need a tree consultant after strange winter weather?

Having a tress in your front and backyard has endured a steady fast fall and has been struck by the winter right away. Sometimes, it covered in ice one day; then they experience temperatures into the 50°s the next; the tree will face strange winter weather. To understand this, you need to call a certified arborist Treescape® for a tree consult.

Strange winter weather can cause developmental and structural issues to trees. We have had an unseasonably warm winter. Maybe this is enjoyable for some, but it also affects our environment, especially the trees. Unseasonably warm day, pursue by a cold snap, are hard for the trees to adapt and cope with strange winter weather.

• Drastic Weather Change Assists Fungus Growth

Are known to produce large amounts of sap. That sap is prone to flow when the tree notices the warm weather. If you have an unseasonably warm day, after a cold snap, it means the tree to begin its spring process of flowing sap. Due to lack of adaption, fungus growth can form the sap that has drip through the bark of the tree.

If the tree has arrived dormancy for the winter. In that case, its ability to fight off this fungus is virtually nonexistent, resulting in potential health concerns. To resist this, check out your tree, or other sap to produce trees, regularly for unwanted growths. For this, you need to call a certified arborist for a tree consultation.

• Root Shock Can Occur  

A tree that is not entirely idle during the winter is open to winter shock. Cold weather affects the whole tree, but firstly it affects the root of the tree.

The winter weather that goes through unseasonably warm to freezing the next day pauses the growth of the tree’s roots. As the soil temperatures dip below 36°, then the root growth decrease, and once the soil has frozen, growth stops. And without that growth pause taking place, roots can damage. We suggest adding mulch around the base of your trees to insulate them. That insulation helps to buffer between the cold frigid air and the soil, maintaining the warmth of the tree’s roots. Consider grinding of your tree and using the mulch to insulate your trees. While mulching is a DIY type of activity, professional help always recommends as certified arborists know where, and how to protect your trees precisely.

• Delayed Bloom in Spring is Expected

Strange winter weather is going to squeeze the growth of a tree that blooms in spring. With this stage on development, a certified arborist needs to consult. However, if your tree remains healthy, but it has no blooms budding but don’t worry. The unseasonably warm winter tricked the tree into more everywhere blooming. This spring-blooming will be of less quantity and may produce less quality. So there is no harm to consult with the certified arborist to ensure your tree’s health.
