{An Arborist's Guide to Tree Removal}
Tree removal can be a complicated and potentially hazardous task. If a tree is dying, diseased, or at risk to fall, the tree might have to be removed in order in order to protect property and ensure safety. How do you know whether a tree should be removed? We’ll guide you through the signs to look out for and help you figure out when it’s time to call in experts.
Dead or dying trees
One of the evident signs that a plant must be taken down is when it is dead or dying. Dead trees lack leaves and can appear lifeless. If a tree is without leaves or signs of growth, it’s probably dead. In addition, the bark of dead trees may be dry, cracked, or peeling.
Trees with diseases
Diseased trees can pose a threat to other trees and plants within the vicinity. The most common signs of disease on trees are the appearance of yellowing leaves, wilted branches, and the growth of mushrooms at the base or the trunk. If you suspect that your tree may be diseased it is important to have it examined by a professional arborist.
Leaning Trees
Trees that are leaning towards one side could be a sign that the root system is failing, and the tree could be at risk of falling. To find out if a tree that is leaning could be a threat, check for cracks or breaks in the trunk and examine the soil surrounding the tree’s base. If you spot any of these indicators, it’s best to have the tree evaluated by an arborist.
Overhanging Branches
Trees with overhanging branches that are in close proximity to power lines or structures can be a danger to the safety of your property and personal safety. If you are concerned about branches hanging overhanging, it’s best to get the tree assessed by an arborist to determine whether removal or pruning is needed.
