Something wrong with your tree?
These are the exact worries that make people search at night. Each guide tells you what it usually is, what it sometimes is, what you can check yourself — and when to stop and call.
Each guide answers the question you actually typed: what this symptom usually is, what it sometimes is, what you can safely check yourself, and the point where checking stops and calling starts. No scare tactics — most tree symptoms in Pinellas are explainable, plenty are harmless, and the dangerous ones announce themselves in ways these guides teach you to read.
The universal shortcut: text a photo to (727) 761-8618. Cody reads tree photos all day; most symptoms are diagnosable from two good pictures, and the answer is free either way.

Which yellow it is decides everything — nutrition, frizzle top, or the one that can’t wait.
Triage it →Mushrooms at the base
Lawn fungus is noise. A shelf conk on the trunk is a message.
Triage it →Leaning after a storm

Triage it →Oak dropping branches
Squirrels, deadwood, or the calm-day limb drop — the fallen piece tells you which.
Triage it →Roots lifting the driveway
Fix the concrete without cutting the root that holds the tree up.
Triage it →Tree in the power lines
The one problem where your first call isn’t a tree service.
Triage it →Dead or dormant?
The thumbnail scratch test, and the trees that play dead every winter.
Triage it →Palm top bent over
One bud runs the whole palm. When it’s threatened, hours matter.
Triage it →Tell Cody about your tree.
Three fields. He answers his own phone — you’ll hear back fast.
