Just like people, trees can suffer from injuries and health issues that require proper care and attention. At Adamson Tree Experts, we specialize in tree cavity and wound treatment—a crucial service for preserving the structural integrity and long-term health of your trees.
What Is a Tree Cavity?
A tree cavity is a hollow area that forms within a trunk or major limb. Often caused by decay, disease, or physical damage, cavities can weaken the internal support structure of a tree. Left untreated, they pose serious risks—especially during storms or high winds, when weakened trees are far more likely to break or fall.
Understanding Tree Wounds
Tree wounds are injuries to the bark or wood, commonly caused by:
Broken limbs
Animal damage
Lawn equipment or construction impact
These openings can expose the tree to pests, fungi, and rot—leading to structural decay over time.
How We Treat Tree Cavities and Wounds
Professional tree care is essential for managing damage. At Adamson Tree Experts, our trained arborists:
Remove dead or decayed wood
Disinfect affected areas to stop the spread of disease
Use grafting or sealant techniques (when appropriate) to encourage healing and prevent further deterioration
We never use one-size-fits-all solutions. Every tree is different, and our team will evaluate the severity and location of the damage before recommending the right course of action.
When Removal Might Be the Safer Choice
In some cases, treating a cavity or wound isn’t the best option. If a tree is already in poor health or the structural damage is too extensive, removal may be necessary to prevent injury or property damage. Our team will always give you a clear, honest assessment.
Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late
Early detection is key. The sooner a cavity or wound is treated, the better the chances of saving the tree and avoiding costly hazards. Whether you’re concerned about a single tree or need a full property inspection, Adamson Tree Experts is here to help.
