Uncovering the Hidden Benefits of Winter Tree Inspections

Though winter feels like a quiet season, it’s a great time for tree care. With trees in dormancy and their leaves gone, structural issues, diseases, and pests are much easier to detect. A winter tree inspection is a valuable step that can save time, money, and help to avoid future damage.

Detecting Structural Issues

Without the cover of leaves, structural defects are more visible. Identifying these issues early helps to reduce the likelihood of failure during severe weather events which, in turn, can avoid the need for costly repairs.

Early Detection of Disease

In winter, evidence of fungal infections in the form of dark stains on the bark can be easier to spot. Catching infections early allows for timely and effective treatment.

Pest Control

While insect activity is slow to nonexistent in the winter months, tree inspections can reveal past insect activity under loose bark in the form of galleries or tunnels. Inquire today to discuss effective treatment options.
