Dead branches It's entirely expected to see some ​tree leaves dying​ and ​becoming brown​, even on healthy trees. On the off chance that you notice a bunch of dead leaves, chances are there's a dead branch that you need to cut back. On the off chance that it appears to be just one dead branch, there's no compelling reason to freeze. Indeed, even on enormous, healthy trees, branches die like a piece of the tree's regular life cycle. Be that as it may, numerous dead branches are cause for alert.

imagination, have a go at snapping off one of the smaller twigs. On the off chance that it breaks easily and is dry and brittle, your tree could be dying or dead. You should contact a ​certified arborist​ right away. Leaf Scorch Even though trees — especially Texas trees — need the sun to survive, leaf scorch is here to advise us that there can be an overdose of something that is otherwise good. The most widely recognized cause of brown leaves is over-exposure to the sun, known as "leaf scorch." It's practically precisely what it sounds like: a sunburn on your tree's leaves. It will manifest in various ways from one tree to another. However, as a rule, you should screen your tree's leaves all through the summer for brown patches, browning at the tips, or yellowing at the leaf's margin. Leaf scorch isn't just caused by a lot of sunshine, be that as it may. It can also be exasperated by an absence of water, an overabundance of fertilizer, over-exposure to a strong breeze, and damage to the roots. There's also bacterial leaf scorch, which usually looks the same. However, the fundamental cause is a disease that, left untreated, could prompt the demise of your tree. If you notice a leaf scorch on your tree, we suggest you contact an ​expert tree service​.

Frost Damage On the opposite end of the leaf, scorch is​ frost damage​, albeit this condition will probably not cause long haul damage to your tree. Young trees are more susceptible to frost damage. You can help forestall it by wrapping your young trees' trunks throughout the colder time of year and covering them during freezing days or nights. Transplant Shock It's typical for trees that have been as of late transplanted to encounter a time of transplant shock, and one of the indications of this condition is brown leaves. You may be enticed to frenzy and start watering your tree all the more regularly. However, this could cause different issues. Instead, proceed with a proper supplemental water regimen and trust that the tree will recover freely. We suggest a week after week supplemental water regimen of five to ten gallons of water for every caliper inch. Water double seven days to give the soil time to dry out in the middle of waterings. During periods of heavy precipitation, skip the supplemental watering. You don't need the soil to become water-logged or for long-standing puddles to shape at the base of the


tree. Your tree should start to spread its roots and flourish. If you keep on seeing issues, connect with a ​professional tree care​ provider. Disease and insects Each tree comes with a one-of-a-kind list of potential trouble spots. Do a little research about your tree to discover what ​diseases and insect infestations ​it's most prone to draw in.

In any case, remember that it's also possible to over-water a tree. Discover the measure of supplemental water suggested for your specific tree, and go from that point.
