Obviously, catastrophic events are rare, and include incidents like earthquakes, forest fires, hurricanes, explosions, car accidents, and more. Again, these are rare, and trees dying more commonly due to internal conditions, pests and illness, and old age. Most often, landscaping trees experience distress and eventually die as a result of negligent tree care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\">Environmental Conditions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Environmental conditions include things like poor soil quality, droughts, lack of sunlight, grading, water drainage, pollution, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timberlandtreecareindy.com\/blog\/winter-storm-damage-repair-solutions-for-trees-and-landscaping\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">storms<\/a>, inclement weather, and more. These can influence the tree\u2019s ability to thrive by obstructing water and nutrient intake and making it more vulnerable to pest infestations and disease. Of course, there are things you can do to help the trees thrive during times of drought, poor drainage, and the weather. It is important to discuss tree care with your local <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timberlandtreecareindy.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Indianapolis tree service company<\/a> for professional advice and information on tree protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\">Pests and Diseases<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Trees are susceptible to a wide variety of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timberlandtreecareindy.com\/blog\/3-trending-pest-control-products-for-trees-and-shrubs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pest infestations<\/a>, wildlife damage, and diseases. Diseases are very common tree killers, including blights, fungal growth, root rot, and more. Pests like borer beetles and termites will quickly deteriorate trees health. Even nuisance wildlife likes squirrels, woodpeckers, and more can damage trees health. Again, you need licensed and insured Indianapolis tree service contractor for help managing dying or distressed trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\">Old Age<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most often, trees die simply of old age. Although trees can live hundreds of years, they do eventually expire. However, the process is very slow and even take centuries to complete.
