TREES NOT LEAFING OUT IN FORT WORTH, TEXAS

IT'S SPRING. WHY  DOESN'T MY TREE HAVE ANY LEAVES?
When your tree is not growing new leaves in springtime, it is most likely due to the fact that the tree has been subjected to stress. Stress can cause even healthy trees to become weak, vulnerable and exhibit signs of a declining tree or manifest undesirable symptoms.

WHAT HAS CAUSED MY TREE TO BECOME STRESSED?

• UNSEASONAL TEMPERATURE CHANGES

Warming trends during winter months and unexpected freezing temperatures or frost in early spring cause a tree to not develop new growth when expected. In addition, drought-like conditions, as is typical of summer heat here in Fort Worth, can stress a tree and inhibit new growth.

• DAMAGING WINDS AND STORMS

Severe storms can weaken a tree and cause stress. High winds cause cracks in branches and branches falling, making the tree vulnerable to tree disease. Winds pull the tree by its roots and make it difficult for the root system to absorb water properly.

• OVERCROWDED TREES & PLANTS

Frequently, trees are planted too closely together. Their root systems and branches overlap as they grow and they must compete for water and proper sunlight.

• POOR DRAINAGE AND STANDING WATER 

Residential outdoor environments often develop areas with excessive soil moisture, standing water or compacted soil. Without adequate drainage tree roots can begin decaying and damaging fungal pathogens develop.

CAN A TREE DISEASE CAUSE MY TREE TO NOT LEAF OUT?
Yes. There are numerous tree diseases common in the Fort Worth area that can cause trees not to develop new foliage growth. An experienced plant pathologist will examine the tree and provide a diagnosis report.
