{Don't Wait Till it's Too Late: Spotting Unsafe Trees}
Tree removal is a difficult and potentially dangerous task. If a tree is dying or ill-healthed, or is in danger from falling down, then it could require removal in order to protect the property and to guarantee safety. But how do you tell whether a tree should be removed? In this article, we’ll take you through the warning signs to be looking for and help you determine when it’s time to call in the professionals.
Dead or Dying Trees
One of the most evident signs that a plant should be removed is if it is dying or dead. Dead trees lack leaves and can appear dead. If a tree has no leaves or evidence of growth, it’s likely dead. In addition, the bark of dead trees may be dry, cracked, or peeling.
Trees that are diseased
The trees that are sick can pose a threat to the other plants and trees in the surrounding area. The most common signs of disease in trees include yellowing leaves, wilted branches, and mushrooms growing at the root of the tree. If you think your tree might be suffering from disease, it’s important to get it checked by a professional arborist.
Leaning Trees
Trees that lean to one side may be an indication that the root system is failing and the tree could be at risk of falling. To find out if a tree that is leaning is a danger, look for cracks or broken areas in the trunk and look into the soil at the tree’s base. If you notice any of these signs it is recommended to examine the tree by an arborist.
Overhanging Branches
Overhanging branches of trees that are in close proximity to power lines or structures can be a danger to property and safety. If you have concerns about overhanging branches you should get the tree assessed by an arborist who can determine whether removal or pruning is needed.
