Top Signs Your Trees and Shrubs Need Professional Care

Changes in Appearance

When your trees and shrubs start looking dull or unhealthy, that’s a red flag. Watch for:

• Discolored or wilting leaves – often linked to nutrient deficiencies.

• Sparse foliage – premature leaf loss can signal deeper health problems.

• Unusual growth patterns – twisted, stunted, or irregular- may point to pests or disease.

• Catching these changes early helps prevent bigger problems later.

Presence of Pests or Disease

Insects and disease can quickly damage plants if left untreated. Be on the lookout for:

• Aphids, caterpillars, and other pests may require targeted treatments.

• Fungal infections, including leaf spots, powdery mildew, or unusual growths on leaves and branches.

• Peeling bark or small holes may indicate invasive insects.

Structural Concerns

Strong structure is key to both plant health and property safety. Warning signs include:

• Leaning trees could pose a risk if not corrected.

• Weak or damaged limbs and broken branches often point to poor health or disease.

• Exposed roots caused by poor planting or erosion can compromise stability.

• Our team can assess these issues and provide solutions to safeguard your property.

Seasonal Stress in Tulsa

Oklahoma’s changing climate can take a toll on your landscape. Pay attention to:

• Weather stress, including drought, heat, or heavy rains, can weaken plants.

• Failure to flower or fruit often indicates that your plants need a nutrient boost.

• After winter, trees and shrubs benefit from professional care to prepare for growth.

• Nutri-Green offers ongoing services to help your plants handle seasonal challenges.

DIY vs. Professional Tree and Shrub Care

Not every tree or shrub problem requires a professional, but knowing the difference is key:

DIY care is fine for routine maintenance like watering, light pruning, mulching, and minor fertilizing.

Professional care is best for persistent pests, disease treatment, structural concerns, and major pruning or removal. Trying to handle these high-risk problems yourself can sometimes make issues worse—or even unsafe. Consulting with professionals ensures your plants are treated correctly and safely, protecting your investment.
