Is your tree ready for fall? 🍂

September is a good time to inspect the trees around your property before Minnesota’s colder weather arrives.

Watch for:

• Dead or hanging branches
• Cracks or splits in large limbs
• Mushrooms or fungal growth near the trunk
• Thinning areas in the canopy
• Leaves changing color or falling unusually early

These signs do not always mean a tree needs to be removed, but they may indicate stress, disease, decay, or structural weakness.

If something does not look right, let Ostvig Tree Care evaluate it before snow and ice add more pressure.

Your tree may be showing signs of trouble long before the damage becomes severe.

Thinning leaves, unusual discoloration, holes in the bark, dead branches or early leaf drop may indicate insects, disease, root damage or another underlying health concern.

Because different problems can produce similar symptoms, an accurate diagnosis matters. Ostvig Tree Care can inspect your trees, identify possible causes and recommend the most appropriate next step.

Emerald ash borer can cause serious damage before an ash tree’s decline becomes obvious. Recognizing the warning signs early may provide more time to consider treatment or safe removal.

Watch for:

🪶 Light-colored bark flecking caused by woodpeckers
🌿 Thinning leaves near the top of the tree
🪵 Dead or declining branches
🌱 New shoots growing from the trunk
🔎 Small D-shaped exit holes in the bark

Not sure whether you have an ash tree or whether it can still be treated? Ostvig Tree Care can evaluate its condition and recommend the best next step.
