Spotting Health Problems Through the Bark
In McLean, VA, our trees face everything from humid summers to sudden cold snaps, which can take a toll on their health — especially on the bark. If you notice peeling or flaking bark, it may be a sign the tree is under stress or dealing with disease. Discoloration, like dark patches or streaks, often means something is going wrong under the surface. Cracks in the bark, soft or spongy spots, or sections that seem to be falling off can all be early warning signs that your tree needs attention.
Other signs to watch for include small holes, which may come from insects boring into the trunk, or sap leaking out, which could mean the tree is fighting off a pest or infection. Even things like mushrooms growing near the base or odd textures on the bark can hint at deeper problems. If you’re seeing any of these signs, it’s best to have a certified arborist take a look. Early care can make all the difference in saving your tree and keeping your yard safe and beautiful.
