DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS
Digital camera
D-tape & clinometer
Binoculars
Hand lens
Soil probe
Pole and hand saw/pruners
Plastic bags
Mallet, chisel, knife, trowel/sholve
![Page 10: Soil compaction Drought Improper watering](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012217/61dfc7d2f03aa820c81177b3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
SYSTEMATIC PROCESS OF DIAGNOSIS
Assemble Diagnostic Tools
1. Identify the tree
2. Look for patterns
3. Examine the site
4. Check the leaves and canopy
5. Trunk and branches
6. Roots and root collar
![Page 11: Soil compaction Drought Improper watering](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012217/61dfc7d2f03aa820c81177b3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
STEP 1: CORRECTLY ID THE “PATIENT”
• What is normal and abnormal for the species
• Know what pests/problems are common to certain species
• Examples
• Live Oaks shed their old leaves in the spring
• Fungal leaf spots that occur on Shumard Red Oak
• Bradford Pears are highly susceptible to Cotton Root Rot
• Leyland and Italian Cypress routinely get Seiridium Canker
![Page 12: Soil compaction Drought Improper watering](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012217/61dfc7d2f03aa820c81177b3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
STEP 1: CORRECTLY IDENTIFY THE “PATIENT”
![Page 13: Soil compaction Drought Improper watering](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012217/61dfc7d2f03aa820c81177b3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
STEP 2: LOOK FOR A PATTERN OF ABNORMALITY
• Biotic factors tend to be non-uniform across the plant
and the landscape
• Abiotic factors tend to be more uniform across the entire
plant and the landscape
Caution! These are only generalities!
Biotic -or- Abiotic
![Page 14: Soil compaction Drought Improper watering](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012217/61dfc7d2f03aa820c81177b3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
STEP 3: CAREFULLY EXAMINE THE SITE
• Where are the plants located on the site?
(topography, structures, etc)
• Check for recent construction or
landscaping activities
• Observe evidence of poor drainage
• Does the lawn have broadleaf weeds?
![Page 15: Soil compaction Drought Improper watering](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012217/61dfc7d2f03aa820c81177b3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

STEP 4: CAREFULLY EXAMINE THE FOLIAGE
• What is normal for that species/variety?
• Color, size, thickness, lobes, margins
• Check for:
• Insects and their damage
• nutrient deficiencies
• fungal growth
![Page 17: Soil compaction Drought Improper watering](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012217/61dfc7d2f03aa820c81177b3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

STEP 5: CHECK THE TRUNK AND BRANCHES
• Are there wounds in the trunk or branches?
• How vigorous was past growth?
• Does the bark appear normal?
• Borer, sapsucker, woodpecker, squirrel damage?
• Water sprouts?
• Examine twigs on the ground or in piles in the yard
![Page 19: Soil compaction Drought Improper watering](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012217/61dfc7d2f03aa820c81177b3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

STEP 6: EXAMINE THE ROOTS AND ROOT COLLAR
• Root flare should be visible!
• Check for:
• Girdling roots
• Severed roots
• Fungal conks or growth
• Bacterial Galls
• Wood borer exit holes
• Oozing sap
![Page 21: Soil compaction Drought Improper watering](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012217/61dfc7d2f03aa820c81177b3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

WHAT’S WRONG HERE?
1. “Top” tree to encourage watersprouts that
weaken tree and encourage pests.
2. Leave co-dominant leaders to encourage
“V” growth and splitting during winds and
storms.
3. Leave crossing branches to rub protective
bark and create wounds.
4. Ignore insect or disease damage.
5. Coat pruning cuts with paint or sealer to
slow healing and promote pest problems.
6. Leave broken branches unpruned to
encourage pests.
7. Spray unapproved herbicides over tree
root area to weaken tree.
8. Damage roots and trunk with lawn
equipment.
9. Rip through roots when digging trenches.
10. Plant close to house or obstacle to
reduce adequate tree and root growing
space
![Page 28: Soil compaction Drought Improper watering](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012217/61dfc7d2f03aa820c81177b3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
WHAT’S WRONG HERE?11. Attach items to tree to damage bark and girdle
branches with wire and rope.
12. Prune randomly to leave branch “stubs.”
13. Prune flush cuts to reduce wound closure.
14. Leave tree staked until guy wire girdles trunk.
15. Leave wrap on to constrict trunk growth and rot
bark.
16. Pile up excessive mulch to encourage
rodent damage and bark rot.
17. Put non-porous black plastic under mulch.
18. Stack items atop roots to cause soil
compaction.
19. Leave ball roping on to girdle trunk.
20. Plant near downspout to assure excessive
water or water lightly to encourage shallow
root growth

WHAT’S WRONG HERE?
21. Leave top of wire basket in place to girdle roots.
22. Leave treated or synthetic burlap on to
prevent root growth.
23. Dig hole too narrow and over amend
backfill to discourage proper root spread.
