Girdling roots might be out of sight, but they can slowly kill your trees 🌳

When roots wrap around the base of a tree instead of growing outward, they choke off water and nutrients— leading to decline or even death over time. Common signs include poor growth, thinning leaves, and a trunk that looks pinched at the base.

The good news? It’s preventable with proper planting and early care. If you’re planting new trees this season, take a moment to check those roots—it makes all the difference down the road.

Healthy roots = healthy trees!
