Trees that are diseased
Diseased trees could pose a danger to other plants and trees within the vicinity. The most common signs of disease on trees are the appearance of yellowing leaves, wilted branches, and mushroom growth at the root or the trunk. If you think your tree may be diseased it is important to have it examined by a professional arborist.
Leaning Trees
Trees that are leaning to one side can be a sign that the root system is failing and the tree could be in danger of falling. To determine if a leaning tree could be a threat, check for cracks or broken areas in the trunk, and then look at the soil at the tree’s base. If you notice any of these signs you should get the tree examined by an arborist.
Overhanging Branches
Trees with overhanging branches which are located close to power lines or buildings could pose a threat to property and safety. If you are concerned about branches hanging overhanging you should be evaluated by an arborist who will determine if pruning or removal is necessary.
