A dead or dying tree is a disaster waiting to happen. If you notice any of the signs listed below, your tree may be in danger of causing an accident and a professional should be contacted immediately. When you need tree removal services for your home or business in Mesa, AZ, give Bassett Tree Service a call.
Look at the Leaves
Pay attention to whether or not the tree is producing leaves. Especially in spring, leaves should be full and lush at this point in the season. If leaves are missing in one area of the tree, it may have root damage. A lack of leaves could also be caused by disease or a pest infestation. If you see lots of dead leaves, it means the tree isn’t absorbing enough nutrients.
Bad Branches
Inspect your tree for brittle branches. If you see a lot of dead branches scattered around the tree or notice falling branches during strong winds, your tree may be diseased or already dead. Dead branches need to be looked at as soon as possible due to their potential for property damage and injuries.
The Trunk Tells All
If you are still unsure about your tree’s health after inspecting the leaves and branches, take a look at its trunk. If the tree has started to lean, its roots are seriously damaged. It can be kept up with a brace until further action is taken, but a tree with root damage is usually irreparable and will need to be removed. Look for major wounds in the tree. These can be caused by lightning and torn branches from strong winds. Trees are unlikely to recover from this kind of damage.
