tree health
Forest wellness assessment
Tree health refers to the overall vitality and condition of a tree—its ability to grow, resist disease, and withstand environmental stress.
Arborists assess tree health through indicators like leaf color, bark condition, and root stability.
The term extends to forest-wide concerns: Climate change is affecting tree health across the region.
Urban planners and homeowners alike monitor tree health to prevent hazards from weakened or dying trees.
