It could be why tree surgery as an occupation is considered a significant advantage with members of the public. This is particularly the case in Manchester.

In an ideal world you should have basic knowledge of being able to diagnose a tree, so for Manchester-based people let's look at some useful guidance from the Tree Contractors Directory.

If you have fruit bearing trees such as plum trees or apple tree in your back garden then if the fruit doesn't grow it can be a sign that something is wrong. This is because trees often flower and then begin to bear fruit once annually, so if they don't it indicates a change. It could be a simple thing such as the PH levels in the soils, something that is the the case in a lot of Manchester gardens, or if the roots aren't taking up enough nutrients. Alternatively it could be due to a lack of water, which is easily changed with some careful and regular watering. This is an important factor when considering the health of your fruit tree.

Branches and bark that are flaking off can be caused by a selection of factors, some are trivial whereas others should be taken more seriously. A heat wave involving little or no rainfall can be responsible for dry branches. In which case, you should water the tree several times throughout the day until the bark is smoother. Otherwise, nutritional deficiency could be to blame, which means that you should check the PH levels of the soil and add fertilizer as needed. You should then monitor the tree's condition for several weeks and see if you can spot any betterment.

If the tree starts to subside and becomes unlevel then this may indicate that there is a problem with the roots or soil. This issue is common place in old Manchester gardens. Indeed it will indicate that the roots are not well placed enough to keep the tree standing and that the soil does not contain the correct constituent nutrients. Subsidence may also be caused by flooding or excessive rain, where larger volumes of water completely soak the soil making it highly difficult for it to deal with the weight of the tree. If this happens you should take the necessary safety precautions or contact a Manchester tree surgeon from treecontractorsdirectory.co.uk.

Spring blossom is perhaps one of the most visually stunning times of the year, so if you see your tree is short on flowers, you may ask what is wrong. Not only will this make your Manchester garden less beautiful but it could also mean that your tree could be diseased and needs treatment. This is because flowering is part of the process for certain species, so if you are expecting blooms yet it doesn't flower then it could indicate the need for action. It is better to sort something out as soon as possible but treatment is not usually complicated and you often have a couple of choices; such as adding extra fertiliser or making sure you water it regularly.

Water pooling at the bottom of the tree could mean that the roots aren't absorbing the water sufficiently, which could mean that there is a problem underlying. The lack of water absorption could be due to a number of environmental or even biological faults in the actual plant itself; this is something you should pay close attention to. This is because if a tree isn't absorbing water then it will become depleted of water and become dangerously dehydrated. Discussing your trees symptoms with a gardener may help, who can offer some expert help regarding what you should do next.

If you follow this advice then you should have no problem knowing if your tree is decaying or if a tree doctor could ensure a revival takes place.
