Canopy thinning, D-shaped exit holes, bark splitting, and heavier woodpecker activity are the signs to know. Lead’s elevation and terrain can add other forms of tree stress, so a local arborist’s read is more useful here than a generic checklist.
Frequently Asked
01
Does Lead's elevation change what to look for?
The core EAB signs are the same everywhere; elevation and terrain mainly affect a tree's overall stress load and the arborist's access, not the diagnostic signs themselves.
