MOST
WANTED!
Keep
an
eye
out
for
this
fall
landscape
challenge.
Tree
Decline
•
DESCRIPTION:
Trees
in
decline
have
an
unhealthy
look
to
them.
Often,
there
are
fewer
leaves
and
overall
growth
has
been
poor
all
season.
Leaves
may
have
yellow
or
brown
tips
or
may
be
smaller
than
normal.
Or
there
may
be
premature
fall
color
and
early
leaf
drop.
•
CRIME:
Tree
decline
never
happens
overnight;
it
can
be
the
result
of
a
disease
or,
more
common,
from
stress
over
many
years.
Often,
more
than
one
stress
is
affecting
the
tree.
Stressed
trees
regularly
develop
other
problems,
too,
such
as
insect
infestation.
Suspect
you
have
some
trees
in
decline?
Contact
our
professionally
trained
arborists
for
a
free
consultation.
