Mount Pleasant sits on the harbor side of the metro, and many of its yards back onto marsh or tidal creek. Trees here take salt laden wind off the water and root into sandy soil with the water table close to the surface. Hurricane Hugo made landfall near Charleston Harbor in 1989, and it showed how quickly a coastal canopy can come down when surge, rain and wind arrive together. Live oaks with wide, heavy limbs over a roof or driveway deserve a closer look before the season peaks.
An arborist weighs how much of a live oak limb can come off without stressing the tree, and whether the problem is really the limb or the roots. Heavy, flush cuts leave wounds that decay slowly in humid heat. We produce written tree risk assessments using TRAQ methodology, the kind of documentation HOAs, insurance carriers, and legal counsel ask for. Rules on removing large trees vary, so check with the Town of Mount Pleasant before a major removal.
Palms are a big part of the Mount Pleasant landscape, and Ganoderma butt rot is the disease to know. It decays the lower few feet of the trunk, and a shelf shaped conk near the base is often the first visible sign. There is no cure, so an infected palm standing near a house usually comes out. Overpruning is the other common mistake, since stripping green fronds from a cabbage palmetto weakens it.
Laurel oak is common on older lots and prone to heart rot by middle age, and hypoxylon canker moves into oaks stressed by drought or root damage from construction. Laurel wilt has killed many native redbays in Charleston County. King tides and storm surge can push salt water into low yards, scorching roots of less tolerant trees. Formosan subterranean termites are established in the county and can nest inside living trunks.
