Sapsucker Damage
A common cause of tree damage in backyards and small woodlands is from sapsuckers, which are a species of woodpecker.
Unlike other woodpeckers, sapsuckers are actually drilling for the tree sap, not for insects living in the tree. However, sapsucker damage may attract opportunistic damaging insects, which the sapsucker may then subsequently feed on.

What is an arborist report?
An arborist report is a technical report on an individual tree or group of trees prepared by an arborist that speaks to the current structural and biological condition of the subject tree(s) and in the case of development, how the proposed work will impact the tree(s).
