A tree health assessment is necessary to check and evaluate the tree’s condition so that it doesn’t get affected by any disease or pest attack. Their inspection is necessary to check whether the tree is growing with branches, twigs, and trunk size or not. If it is not growing properly even in a good temperature and environment then, it is an unhealthy or diseased tree. The tree health assessment is possible by identifying, determining, evaluating, and inspecting the tree carefully and systematically.
Tree health assessment starts from the assessment of the roots of the tree to the crown of the branches tips to look at the infestation if caused. This assessment is necessary to know the infestation effects and solutions to treat the diseases or infested parts of the tree. So, by evaluation or assessment, one can get an understanding of the tree’s potential problems and can bring solutions accordingly. Also, you can prevent people, property, animals, homes, yards, and other living beings from harmful and diseased trees. It helps to safeguard the property around the trees and even the health of the tree to maintain their further quality by evaluation and determination of the cause. There are several ways to do a tree assessment or evaluation for determining the health condition of the tree. Such are as follows:
- Through evaluating branches- by checking the branches of the tree you can know about a number of branches that are broken, hanging loosely, and cracked from the side of the trunk attached. Through deterioration of the branches such as through observing the increase of fungus, tissues, and cells damage. Also, the decay of wood can make you know about the branch's health condition and ultimately about the tree's health condition. So, a tree’s health assessment can be done through branch evaluation.
- Checking leaves – By checking leaves' appearance one can even evaluate the health of the trees. As if the color of the leaf changed from green to yellow or pale color or some other changed color than a constant leaves appearance. Then, you can understand the leaves' condition that they might get attacked by insects or get a deficiency of nutrients. Thus, damaged leaves evaluation can make you know about the overall tree’s health.
- Inspection of roots – Usually, fungus or any bacterial infection caused by roots makes the overall tree get damaged. So, firstly you need to look, assess and inspect the health condition of the roots and soil that makes the tree grow and fertilize. So, decay, cavities, and hollows in large roots can damage the tree further. Also, sometimes new construction, landscaping processes, and even soil modification and erosion can damage the roots of the trees. Thus, the deteriorated roots will make the health of the tree worsen.
