BARK FALLING FROM TREE IN FORT WORTH, TEXAS

3/11/2019

 
THE BARK IS FALLING OFF MY TREE. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?
Bark falling can be caused by several factors. It can be due to a serious issue such as tree diseases or insect infestations or be from a natural occurrence like tree growth or the tree variety. When you are in question it is always best to contact an experienced tree company.

WHAT TREE DO DISEASES CAUSE BARK TO FALL OFF TREES?

  • HYPOXYLON CANKER
This severe fungal tree disease has become a serious problem in Fort Worth and the DFW area. It targets trees of all oak varieties that are weak or wounded. In its advanced stages, damaged areas on the tree bark will turn brownish-black and flake off. The infected tree is beyond saving at this point; therefore, contact an arborist that treats sick trees immediately if your oak tree is declining or you notice bark falling!  

  • DUTCH ELM DISEASE
This grave vascular pathogen is spreading rapidly throughout Fort Worth and it infects all varieties of elm trees. As this disease progresses the tree will exhibit dead limbs and brittle, peeling bark. Early treatment is essential to stop the destruction of DED. Call a tree doctor promptly if your ash tree's bark is fragile and peeling.

  • FIREBLIGHT
There is no known cure for this lethal bacterial pathogen that infects all pome fruit trees. As this disease progresses the tree will manifest dark, blackened areas on the bark around cankers and wounds and the bark will flake off and peel. It is essential to enlist the services of an experienced arbor care professional as soon as you observe your pit-centered fruit tree is ailing.

WHAT INSECT PESTS MAKE TREE BARK FALL OFF?

  • WOOD BORERS
Wood borers are the most destructive insects infesting trees. They are common in Fort Worth and the surrounding cities and ISA certified arborists and tree experts are repeatedly encountering their destruction. Brittle, falling bark and D-shaped holes in the bark indicate their infestation. A tree doctor must be contacted immediately and treatment administered in the beginning stages of infestation.    

  • PINE BARK BEETLES
Pine bark beetles are increasing rapidly in Fort Worth and they have destroyed many pine tree varieties. Amongst the many damaging symptoms they cause are pin-dot holes and flaking to the tree's bark. Do not hesitate in contacting an arbor care professional if you observe beetles on your property or trees. Once their destruction has become severe then your tree is beyond saving.

WHEN IS IT OKAY FOR THE BARK TO FALL OFF TREES?

  • TREE VARIETIES
Some tree varieties naturally shed their bark in large chunks or peeling sheets. Included amongst the bark-shedding varieties are silver maple, birch, sycamore, redbud, and scotch pine. Consult with an experienced tree company when you are wondering if your tree naturally sheds its bark.

  • NATURAL TREE GROWTH PROCESS
As trees grow they will naturally shed their bark. This is part of the natural growth process and there is no reason for concern.

HOW CAN I FIND OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THE BARK TO FALL OFF?
Call the best arborist in Fort Worth, Texas and schedule a diagnostic appointment with their tree care specialist. The experienced plant pathologist will closely examine the tree and provide a free evaluation report. You will be informed of the specific reason why your tree has bark falling and advised on what treatment is needed if the tree has a disease or insect problem. Enlisting the services of an experienced tree company will ensure that the health of your trees is strong and robust.

OUR REVIEWS

2018-1-01

These guys were great. Very professional and knocked out a big job in just a few short hours. They clearly knew what they were doing and went above and behind to carefully analyze the health of each tree, and what was needed. As opposed to trimming and moving on. I highly recommend. They did my neighbor as well.

I needed a tree removed from our front yard this past weekend. I called Josh Anthony with Tree Service Fort Worth they came in at a competitive rate and removed it in a safe manner. I will used them again in the future and recommend them to others in Fort Worth.

Very happy in my dealings with Henry and his crew. Henry came out on short notice to provide some recommendations on trimming and keeping one of my pecan trees healthy. His crew was able to come out a couple days later and were very professional and efficient. They even took the bigger limbs that were removed and cut them down for firewood and stacked the wood. Will definitely work with them again for future tree care.

Had just closed on the new house with beautiful landscape to discover my cypress trees dying and other trees on the property looking ill. Called two other arborist before I discovered Henry. Though there was no saving my already dying trees; the others were diagnosed, treated and saved. Henry was not only knowledgeable but also professional, friendly and extremely reasonable. It is almost shocking to find people like him these days. Highly recommended to all!
