A Dallas Emergency Tree Service Guide: Drought Dragging + High Winds
Any Dallas Emergency Tree Service, like White Rock Tree Removal Service, is preparing for a busy emergency season, this year. The reason for this is two fold. First, Dallas's most mature trees' available moisture is less than half, annually, than the thirty year average during which they matured. (Latest Annual Rainfall - 36.14 in.), (30 Year Average Rainfall 1980 thru 2010 - 79.8 in.) This rain deficit is leaving Dallas trees extra dry and vulnerable to the effects of, coming high winds. Historically, in Dallas, the windier part of the year lasts for a little over 7 months, from October to June. Average wind speeds of more than 10.0 miles per hour are expected, while high winds, (between 40 and 50 mph,) have become common in recent years. As we head into the end of the year, this perfect storm of conditions is expected to send residents and business owners in the East Dallas, North Dallas, University Park, Highland Park, Uptown Dallas and Preston Hollow communities running for their phones to call, for 24/7 Dallas emergency tree service, from White Rock Tree Removal Service. Mature Dallas trees have weathered the annual high winds through an innate flexibility that is directly related to how much moisture Dallas trees could absorb and retain, in the less windy times of the year. As less precipitation is available, Dallas trees are less flexible and more brittle / breakable. Coming high winds will lead to, sometimes fatal, damage due to: extraordinary loss of leaves, leaning - sometimes resulting in roots lifting out of the ground, broken and fallen limbs, splits in the tree̢۪s trunk, and fallen trees. Any Dallas Emergency Tree Service, like White Rock Tree Removal Service, will tell you damage prevention measures are the best ways to avoid wind damage to your trees that ultimately leads to property and personal damage from flying / falling debris, whole limbs and trees. Properly pruned Dallas trees are less vulnerable to wind damage. Pruning in early Autumn is one of the best ways to protect trees from the effects of high winds. The common belief about pruning trees, in high wind regions, was once to prune to open the canopy, to allow high winds to blow through the tree. This actually leaves trees more vulnerable to damage than, what Dallas emergency tree service professionals agree to be, properly pruned and therefore more structurally sound trees. Pruning the right trees at the right times with the right tools is key to tree health. Practices like hat-racking or topping trees, though sometimes necessary, can leave trees near defenseless to high winds. Preemptive cabling for trees may be needed for additional support for Dallas trees, than proper care and pruning may provide. This step can also help to avoid some of the most devastating effects of wind damage on your Dallas trees. Proper cabling will limit the range of movement of compromised portions of the tree while allowing for enough flexibility to prevent the tree from snapping under increased tension. Of course, be sure to follow proper watering guidelines for your trees and adhere to local water conversation guidelines. Look for signs of heat stress and opportunistic pathogens in your trees, before high winds arrive. (See previous articles) The signs of a hazardous condition affecting your Dallas trees may be hard to recognize. If you are concerned or unsure about your Dallas trees' vulnerability to wind damage, don't wait to call a Dallas Emergency Tree Service, like White Rock Tree Removal Service for a free onsite assessment of your Dallas Trees.

A Dallas Emergency Tree Service Guide: Why Are My Dallas Trees Dying?
Residents and business owners of the East Dallas, North Dallas, University Park, Highland Park, Uptown Dallas and Preston Hollow communities have been reaching out to request Dallas Emergency Tree Service from White Rock Tree Removal Service, in response to dead or dying trees causing hazardous conditions on their properties. Obviously, drought is a major contributing factor to tree death in the Dallas area. Lack of available moisture may not be the ultimate cause of Dallas tree death. Drought conditions may weaken your tree's defenses to the point that normally weak pathogens, like hypoxylon fungus are allowed to take hold. In such cases, it will become eminently necessary to engage a Dallas Emergency Tree Service, like White Rock Tree Removal Service, as once fungus infection is obvious, the tree is already dead. Heat stress sets the appropriate conditions for tree deaths from macro fungi like hypoxylon canker. Hypoxylon, usually considered a weak pathogen, is a white rot fungus, whose first obvious sign of tree infection is the thinning or dying back of the crown of your Dallas tree. Infection next causes exposed areas of gray, reddish brown, green or tan spores in spots where infection caused tree bark to loosen and slough off. Visibility of spores is a sure sign of tree death. Any Dallas Emergency Tree Service will tell you that proper care of your Dallas trees, in drought conditions, is the best way to prevent conditions that lead to opportunistic pathogens like hypoxylon canker and insects like bark engraver beetles. The latter of which, burrow completely through your trees causing spontaneous limb drop and buckled trunks in trees that may have no other signs of distress, besides obvious dehydration. Though water, soil moisture in particular, is paramount to long term tree health, dehydration is not the only problem. Transpiration is limited by low moisture levels in soil and lack of humidity, causing the cells in leaves to literally cook to death. Trees dissipate heat through transpiration, which is water evaporation from tree leaves. This cell cooking releases toxins, which build up to cause lesions that eventually kill Dallas trees. The effects can be hard to identify and cause unseen / unknown hazardous conditions. The devastating results of these hazardous conditions are what is driving the high volume of calls for emergency tree service, from residents of the East Dallas, North Dallas, University Park, Highland Park, Uptown Dallas and Preston Hollow communities to White Rock Tree Removal Service. You can reduce stress to your trees, as drought conditions continue, by protecting root systems from damage through proper watering, minimizing over crowding, and proper pruning. Supplemental watering is necessary in cases of 7 straight days of drought conditions or significantly higher temperatures than are the norm, for the particular time of year. Flooding the roots close tho the trunk can cause various diseases. Water your trees outside the drip line, (the area on the ground directly under the farthest-reaching branches,) of the crown. Water once a week with a soaker hose, a half or quarter of the root system at a time, soaking the soil to a depth of 8 to 10 inches. Of course, water in the evening and be sure to follow local rules for water conservation. Unfortunately, all the prevention in the world can't guarantee a good outcome 100% of the time. Be sure to protect yourself and your property. If you have any questions or concerns about the health or condition of your Dallas trees, call a local Dallas tree service like White Rock Tree Removal Service for a free onsite tree inspection.

All of these are the result of a common hazardous condition that most people don't even know they have, until it's too late. When a local Dallas Tree Service, like White Rock Tree Removal Service, inspects trees for heat stress signs, generally we are looking for what is known as scorching. Scorching is the browning of the tree and wilting leaves and is a common effect on Dallas trees in times of extreme heat, lack of precipitation or drought like conditions. Signs of heat stress may be hard to identify and it may be even harder to recognize signs of death in a tree that looks healthy. For instance a tree shedding it's leaves may be in an appropriate part of it's cycle. Trees also shed leaves as protection against the stressors of extended heat. An inexperienced observation of a tree may miss or confuse signs of heat stress. This is why it's best, if you're unsure, to engage a local Dallas Tree Service to give you a trained opinion to ensure the safety of your property and loved ones. An example of where heat stress can be confused with other diseases is in the case of oak wilt. Oak wilt resembles scorching in many ways.

It's important to call a local Dallas Tree Service to find the foundation of symptoms of heat stress and other conditions so the appropriate measures, for the right issues, can be taken before you have bigger problems.
