Fall foliage offers clues about tree health, stress

What are your trees trying to tell you? Fall foliage, which changes rapidly, can reveal important signs about tree health and stress, according to experts. Russell Holman, Eversource supervisor of vegetation management, said that fall foliage can identify trees that are struggling and may require pruning or removal. Holman emphasized the importance of observing how quickly leaves change, suggesting that a tree's leaves turn several weeks before surrounding trees, indicating drought stress, or that its leaves fall earlier than others, could also indicate disease. If one branch is bare while others still have leaves, it may need pruning. If most trees in an area are holding their leaves but one is already bare, it could signal that the tree is under stress.
