Girdling Root Syndrome

Stem Girdling Roots is a common problem for urban trees and drastically shortens a tree’s life.

This problem is fatal to the tree.  When diagnosed early, corrective treatments can be done to extend the life of the tree. Your arborist will make the most informed recommendations for your tree.

Call us for a consultation.

Your certified arborist will identify indications of girdling roots, including:

  • No visible flare at soil surface
  • Thin or sparse canopy
  • Off-colored leaves
  • Early fall color and leaf drop
  • Trunk with flat spots

Trees most susceptible to stem girdling roots:

  • maples
  • lindens

Treating trees suffering from girdling roots is an ongoing process.  We guide you through the after-care to help keep your trees strong and healthy for years to come.
