How to know if your tree needs a certified arborist
Many Ottawa-Gatineau homeowners don't realize their tree is in distress until it's too late. Early diagnosis by a certified arborist can save a tree — and prevent costly emergency removal. Here are the warning signs to watch for:
Dead or Dying Branches
Branches with no leaves in season, brittle bark, or that snap easily indicate stress or disease that needs immediate assessment.
Fungal Growth on Bark
Mushrooms, conks, or shelf fungi growing on the trunk or roots are signs of internal wood decay — a serious structural concern.
Cracks & Splits in Trunk
Vertical or horizontal cracks in the main trunk can signal structural failure risk, especially after ice storms or high winds.
Leaning or Unusual Lean
A sudden lean or progressive tilt in a previously upright tree often indicates root failure or soil movement beneath the surface.
Insect Damage & Bore Holes
Sawdust-like frass, exit holes, or unusual bark patterns may indicate emerald ash borer, bark beetles, or other destructive pests.
Sparse or Discoloured Foliage
Yellowing, browning, or premature leaf drop outside of autumn can indicate root problems, disease, or nutrient deficiencies.
"Before recommending removal, Verda will assess whether the tree can be treated, pruned, stabilized, or preserved."
