What's the difference between a tree surgeon and an arborist?

If you consider a tree surgeon as a medical surgeon, then an arborist can be considered as a doctor. The arborist is capable of identifying tree diseases accurately by observing symptoms that are displaying on the tree. They then provide the right recommendations to treat the tree. Treatment may involve passing the job over to a tree surgeon when required.

How can I tell if my tree has a disease?

When inspecting your tree there are a few key indicators that you can look out for to figure out if it might be diseased. One of the most common signs is f you spot dead branches because this could indicate that the tree is unhealthy. Also any leaf problems, anything from spots or holes to odd coloured or deformed leaves. Another thing to watch out for is lesions, germinating spores on the tree or cankers, a dead section of bark on branches or limbs. These could be a sign of decay or disease, usually resulting in leaf loss. Insects could also indicate that something is wrong with your tree. If you spot large groups of insects such as ants and earwigs swarming around a section of the tree, this is usually a sign that there is damage or rot in that area, which could mean it is a disease. If you spot any of these issues call Tree Surgeon Northampton on 01604 279464 for a call out and diagnosis.
