Don't Wait Till it's Overdue: Spotting Dangerous Trees
Tree removal is a difficult and possibly dangerous job. If a tree has died or diseased or is in danger of falling, it may need to be removed to avoid damage to property and ensure safety. How do you know if a tree needs to be removed? This article will guide you through the warning signs to be looking for and help you decide whether it’s time to call in the professionals.
Dead or dying trees
One of the evident signs that a tree should be removed is if it’s dying or dead. Dead trees lack leaves and can appear dead. If a tree doesn’t have leaves or evidence of new growth, it’s likely dead. The bark of dead trees could be cracked, dry or peeling.
Diseased Trees
Trees with diseases can pose a threat to other plants and trees in the area. Common signs of disease in trees include the appearance of yellowing leaves, wilted branches, and the growth of mushrooms at the base or the trunk. If you suspect your tree might be suffering from disease it is important to have it inspected by a certified arborist.
Leaning Trees
Trees that lean to one side may be an indication that the root system is failing and the tree may be in danger of falling. To find out if a tree that is leaning is a danger, look for cracks or breaks within the trunk and look into the soil around the base of the tree. If you notice any of these indicators you should examine the tree by an arborist.
Overhanging Branches
The branches of overhanging trees that are in close proximity to power lines or structures can pose a risk to the safety of your property and personal safety. If you are concerned about overhanging branches you should get the tree assessed by an arborist who can determine if removal or trimming is needed.
