Tree Tip of the Day: Monthly Inspections Matter Year-Round

 Helping homeowners in Germantown (40217)

Just because your tree’s not blooming doesn’t mean it’s off the hook. Fungal infections and insect pests are still active during fall and winter — and they love hidden bark crevices.

We recommend a monthly visual inspection, especially if your trees are older, have rough bark, or were previously stressed.

What to look for:

• Mushrooms or shelf fungi at the base

• Discolored, peeling, or weeping bark

• Tiny bore holes (signs of insects beneath)

• Sticky residue or ant trails

In Germantown, where yards are compact and trees often grow close to homes or power lines, early detection is key.

Need help confirming what you’re seeing? We’re currently performing winter walk-throughs and health checks.

Your trees might look quiet this season — but that doesn’t mean they’re in the clear.
