Why is my tree losing limbs?

Picture
Trees get a massive amount of water in the day and let the moisture out in the leaves. The technique is called evapotranspiration. To see it for yourself, put a potted plant in a plastic bag, and the bag will get cloudy as moisture is emitted into the air.

Sometimes a tree will have a crack or some other defect. Animals could have damaged the limb in a way that creates a more significant break over time. When the limb becomes too heavy with water, that crack will break open. Arborists state that there can be tons of water that flows from where the limb breaks.

Most folks can see a flaw in a limb. It can be difficult even for an arborist. You could see a dark spot on a limb or some discoloration. Even so, it could be years before you have a real issue.

Pruning
Severe pruning may create extra foliage at the end of a limb, making it weightier. It is recommended you schedule a tree pruning and thinning project with a Rochester tree service company every seven years.
​
Limb drop usually occurs where there are lots of trees. If there’s a breeze, remaining under a huge oak tree might not be your best bet. This is also true for parking your car.

Surviving a Drought
Some trees, like Blue oaks, possess a built-in drought defense. By the end of a dry summer, these trees will look like they’re dead. They drop their limbs and leaves to reserve water use but will look good the next year.

Keep Your Trees from Dying
First, a homeowner should keep grass away from the bottom of the tree, so fungus doesn’t develop from the moisture.
Young trees require water 10-12 inches under the soil. For young trees, you only need to water once a week for half an hour. You want the water to flow and soak into the soil.

Don’t place your water hose at the trunk. For young trees, put it two feet from the base for young trees and around two feet from the trunk for older trees is enough. You should also move the hose around two or three times during the job.
