Warning Signs that a Tree Is Unhealthy & Should Be Safely Removed
If you have a large tree in your yard that is unhealthy, then it could be at significant risk of toppling over in high winds, which could inflict injuries and cause costly property damage to your home and/or vehicles. Trees that appear to be dead or dying should be brought to the arborist’s attention ASAP so that they can be inspected and a course of action can be determined. At Florida Tree Trimmers, our local arborists are experts at identifying trees that are unhealthy and creating safety risks. And we provide expert tree removal in the greater Plantation, FL area.
Signs of an Unhealthy Tree
Indications that a tree is dead/dying/diseased include: rot, leaf loss, widespread fungal growth, extensive insect damage, open wounds, and heavy leaning. If your tree has any of these symptoms, you’ll want to notify the arborist before the next windstorm arrives. It’s possible that only an unhealthy portion of the tree will have to be removed. If your tree has any large dead limbs, they should be promptly removed so that they don’t break off on their own, which could cause damage/injuries. Such limbs are best removed by an experienced arborist so that the cuts are done in such a way that the tree can best recover and the risk of disease is minimized. But if there are signs of poor health throughout the tree, then it’ll need to be safely cut down before it falls over on its own.
Root damage is another common issue that causes trees to fall into poor health. Badly damaged roots can cause the tree to become unstable, and more prone to crashing down in strong winds. And with damaged roots, the tree may not be able to take in sufficient nutrients and water to stay healthy. Root damage sometimes occurs during landscaping and excavation projects.
