Before you decide to go into the garden and get rid of your tree with an axe or chainsaw you should think about whether you may be able to bring it back to life.
Although this is somewhat of a dying art, there are a few things that you can look for in order to conclude what course of action to take with your tree.
Here is a list, compiled by www.treecontractorsdirectory.co.uk that you should find helpful:
If your tree looks to be sparse of foliage then it will not be able to make energy via photosynthesis as the chlorophyll in the leaves makes this happen. Therefore this simple symptom will help to exacerbate the situation and will make matters worse for the tree as it ultimately restricts its energy supply. This in turn will make the tree branches weak, brittle and dry. Add this symptom to some of the other ones mentioned and it can be clear that you need to take measures to bring the tree back to life. Depending on how long you leave it, the solution could be minor or quite extensive.
If you have fruit bearing trees such as plum trees or apple tree in your back garden then if they fail to bear fruit it can be a sign that something isn't right. This is because trees often flower and then begin to bear fruit once annually, so if they don't it indicates a change. Unbalanced PH levels in the soil could be an obvious problem or if the roots don't have sufficient nutrients around them. Soil that isn't sufficiently watered could also be a possible explanation, which could be solved easily by ensuring that you water it regularly. Whatever is to blame, this is an important factor to consider in the health of your fruit tree.
If the plant life surrounding the tree starts to die then that is a good sign that the soil isn't the right conditions for the tree. Actually, this might be a sign that the tree isn't supported properly by the soil. The reason for this is that if a small plant won't survive then it is only a matter of time before the tree starts to deteriorate. Fertiliser and extra watering can help if you see this happening to your tree. Make sure you check up on your tree to check that it is making improvements.
If the tree starts to subside and becomes unlevel then this may indicate that there is a problem with the roots or soil. More precisely it will indicate that the roots are not secure enough to keep the tree standing and that the soil does not contain the correct constituent nutrients. A slant or drop could also be attributed to high rainfall or flooding, where big amounts of water soaking into the soil mean that the weight of the tree cannot be duly supported. If this happens you should take the necessary safety precautions or contact a tree removal expert from the Tree Contractors Directory
Spring is perhaps one of the more beautiful times of year as you can see glorious blossom, so if a tree doesn't flower then you are sure to notice. Not only will your garden be deprived of beauty but it may also suggest that the tree is suffering from an underlying problem. This is because flowering is part of the process for certain species, so if you are expecting blooms yet is won't flower then it could need attention. It is best to act as soon as you notice something is wrong but treatment is not usually complicated and you often have a couple of choices; such as watering it or adding peat.
By completing the tips above you should have a good idea of whether you need to cut down your tree or whether an experienced tree surgeon could help.
