Beautiful trees can be found all around the world. But, as is the case with all living things, they inevitably age and decline. They are already vulnerable to the effects of the climate, and severe weather and high winds only worsen matters. Trees that are getting close to the end of their lives pose a danger to people, property, and communities when they are not removed.

It is difficult for the untrained eye to determine whether or not a tree, regardless of its age, needs to be removed. Professionals should evaluate the health of your trees, so don’t hesitate to make that call. But some indicators suggest you get in touch with a tree service. Let’s begin.

Dead

A tree so majestic in age should not die. Trees, like all other forms of life, eventually die. The absence of flowers is a sure sign that your tree is dying. Your tree may also show signs of rot, dryness, and decay. A dead tree will immediately stand out to you. There’s no need to wait months, or even years, for the removal of a dead tree that’s been taking up valuable space in your yard. A dead tree is dangerous. Consider it a not-so-hidden danger that threatens your loved ones and your home.

Damaged

A tree’s trunk and branches are incredibly strong. Only up to a point do they have the ability to withstand storms. After a severe storm, it may be time to have your trees cut down. Naturally, only an accredited arborist or tree experts can verify the state of your trees’ health. But, if the chances of a tree making a full recovery after being damaged are low, keeping them around is riskier.

Leaning

A few trees naturally lean in a particular direction. Leaning trees, it’s true, can also enhance the aesthetic value of a garden. The situation is different when the leaning happens after a storm or is something you have never seen before. This may mean your tree has been severely damaged and could topple at any moment. A professional arborist can check your trees to make sure they won’t cause you or your property any harm.

Multiple entangled branches

When tree branches are rubbing against one another or becoming entangled, it’s time to call in the pros. Your tree may become more vulnerable to infections and illnesses as a result. Experts in tree care can tell you if you need to cut down your tree or if there are other options.

Sick

Sometimes the outside of a tree looks fine, but on the inside, it’s been damaged by disease. There may be symptoms of illness that don’t seem to progress or harm the tree. The opposite is often true. You should have us check out the tree to ensure the safety of your loved ones and anyone who might be walking near it. If a diseased tree is not treated, it might spread to healthy trees nearby. Sometimes, when one tree is infected, the others nearby will follow suit.

Longitudinal Cracks

Seeing any problems with your tree through the bark might be a challenge. On the other hand, if you notice any significant cracks running lengthwise, especially if they intersect two branches in opposite directions, this is not a good sign. The tree won’t survive if a typhoon, tornado, or other destructive weather system blows through. When you least expect it, your tree could start cracking or splitting even more. The resulting injury and property loss will be extremely high risk and costly. It is recommended that experts inspect the tree as a matter of both precaution and safety. They will see to it that it is cut down or taken out. You can rest assured that the crack will not worsen.
