Signs a tree is dying in Fort Wayne
On ash, look for thinning from the top down, bark splits, woodpecker damage and small D-shaped holes, all classic emerald ash borer signs. On oaks and maples, watch for dead limbs in summer, fungus at the base, peeling bark, and leaves browning early. Trees hit by the 2012 derecho may still hide internal cracks.
Warning signs
- Bare or brittle branches in season
- Fungus or mushrooms at the base
- Cracks or cavities in the trunk
- Bark falling off
- Sudden lean or heaving soil
What to do
