{Don't Wait Till it is Too Late: Spotting Unsafe Trees}
Tree removal is a complex and possibly dangerous job. If a tree is dying, diseased, or in danger from falling down, then it may require removal to avoid damage to the property and to guarantee safety. But how do you tell if a tree needs to be removed? This article will guide you through the warning signs to look out for and help you determine the right time to call experts.
Dead or Dying Trees
One of the most obvious signs that a tree needs to be removed is if it’s dying or dead. Dead trees do not have leaves and could appear dead. If a tree doesn’t have leaves or any signs of new growth, it is likely dead. The bark of dead trees might be dry, cracked or peeling.
Diseased Trees
The trees that are sick can pose a threat to other plants and trees within the vicinity. Common signs of disease on trees are the appearance of yellowing leaves, wilted branches, and mushrooms growing at the bottom of the tree. If you think your tree might be suffering from disease, it’s important to have it inspected by an arborist who is a professional.
Leaning Trees
Trees that are leaning to one side may be a sign that the root system is failing and the tree may be in danger of falling. To find out if a tree that is leaning could be a threat, check for cracks or breaks within the trunk, and then look at the soil at the base of the tree. If you see any of these indicators you should examine the tree by an arborist.
Overhanging Branches
The branches of overhanging trees located close to power lines or buildings can pose a risk to safety and property. If you have concerns regarding branches that hang overhanging you should get the tree assessed by an arborist who can determine if removal or trimming is necessary.
