Common Tree Issues
Trees, as essential components of our natural environment, face many challenges that can affect their health and longevity. These issues range from environmental stressors like drought, flooding and pollution to threats like pests and diseases.
Poor tree care practices in urban environments can further contribute to their decline in health. Understanding and addressing these common issues is something that our team excels in.

Let our friendly Auckland arborists meet with you (and your tree) to discuss a plan of attack.
Why Your Tree Might be Declining
People often tend to work on their gardens and trees with good intentions. Still, sometimes, they overlook crucial aspects like tree species, the time of year, and unique requirements, which are essential for maintaining and enhancing the overall health of the trees.
Common Tree Care Mistakes:
- Overwatering: Excessive watering can lead to waterlogged soil, which can suffocate tree roots and promote root rot. It’s essential to water trees appropriately, considering their specific water requirements and the local climate.
- Underwatering: On the flip side, insufficient watering can lead to drought stress and can weaken trees, making them more susceptible to pests and diseases.
- Soil Compaction: Heavy foot traffic, machinery, or construction can compact the soil around a tree, reducing oxygen and water infiltration to the roots. This can harm the tree’s health and stability.
- Poor Mulching: Applying too much mulch or improperly mulching around the base of the tree (known as “volcano mulching”) can trap moisture against the trunk, leading to rot and fungal issues. Proper mulching techniques are essential for tree health.
- Incorrect Pruning: Using incorrect pruning techniques, such as topping or leaving stubs, can harm the tree and create entry points for diseases. Pruning should be done during the dormant season or when necessary for safety. Improper pruning can damage the tree and leave it vulnerable to diseases and pests.
- Soil Contamination: Spilling chemicals, oil, or other pollutants near trees can harm their roots and the overall health of the tree.
- Planting Too Close: Adding structures or planting other vegetation too close to a tree can restrict its access to light, water, and nutrients, leading to stress and competition.
- Fertiliser Misuse: Using the wrong type of fertiliser or over-fertilizing can lead to nutrient imbalances, root damage, and other issues.
