After the last couple of days of heavy rain and flooding in Brisbane, don’t forget to check on your trees to ensure they’re safe and healthy. Here are five things to look for and what to do:
🌧🌳 Check the roots
What to Look For: Exposed roots, soil erosion around the base, or trees leaning.
What to Do: If the tree is unstable, contact a certified arborist to assess and secure it.
🌧🌳 Watch for signs of stress
What to Look For: Yellowing leaves, early leaf drop, or no new growth.
What to Do: Allow the soil to dry out naturally and avoid overwatering.
🌧🌳Inspect for fungi
What to Look For: Mushrooms or fungi growing on the trunk or near roots.
What to Do: Remove visible fungi and call a professional if the tree appears unhealthy.
🌧🌳Check for soil erosion
What to Look For: Soil washing away from the base of the tree.
What to Do: Add topsoil or mulch to stabilize the roots and prevent further erosion.
🌧🌳 Monitor over time
What to Look For: Changes in the tree’s health, like thinning leaves or wilting.
What to Do: Keep an eye on the tree and schedule a professional check if problems persist.
