Do All Trees Shed Their Bark in Chunks?
Tree bark loss is often caused by a variety of reasons. It could be due to disease, environmental factors, or pest infestations. However, it doesn’t necessarily indicate a problem. A healthy tree will usually heal itself.
Exfoliation
Some trees shed their bark in large chunks or sheets. This is known as exfoliation. In fact, it is not uncommon to find large sheets of bark surrounding the trunk.
Prone to Bark Damages
Some species are more prone to bark damage than others. Older trees are more likely to peel off their bark. Fruit and nut trees are particularly vulnerable.
It can be Alarming
Bark peeling is a process that can be alarming to some people. It happens in thin sheets, flakes, or chunks, and can occur on the trunk, branches, or twigs.
It isn’t a Sign of Health
There are many different reasons for bark loss, but it’s important to understand that it isn’t a sign of health. Although it is common to see bark falling off after a warm period, extreme temperatures can exacerbate the process.
Several species of ash, maple, oak, pine, and sycamore shed their bark in large strips or chunks. Silver maple and birch also do so naturally.
There are Symptoms of the Disease
A tree may also peel off its bark in response to disease. Some fungal diseases can cause peeling. Other diseases can be more serious and cause the entire tree to die. The symptoms of these diseases include cankers, disfigurations, and lesions on the bark.
