Signs a Tree Needs to Be Removed

Is Your Tree Dying? 5 Warning Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore

Recognizing a hazardous tree early protects your home, power lines, and family. Dead trees lose structural integrity quickly and pose a massive liability during high winds. Watch for these five warning signs on your property.

• Deep Trunk Cavities: Large holes or peeling bark indicate severe internal decay.
• Fungi at the Base: Mushrooms growing on the root flare signal root rot.
• Sudden Leaning: A shifting trunk means the root system is failing.
• Bare Branches: A lack of leaves on large sections during spring means those limbs are dead.
• Fine Twig Brittleness: Twigs that snap easily without green inside are no longer living.
