Here's How to Tell if Your Tree is Dying

A beautiful lawn can be a gift to your family and to the environment, and few things bring beauty to a lawn like healthy, vital trees. Trees provide much-needed shade that helps to reduce cooling costs in your home while providing a habitat for local wildlife. When a tree’s health becomes compromised, it can create a safety hazard that puts your family and neighbors at risk.

Although sometimes it’s fairly obvious that a tree is beyond saving, in some cases, it may be difficult to tell. In this post from Vital Tree Service in Woodbury, our tree removal pros will break down the signs to look for to help identify a dying tree. Give us a call to schedule your tree removal or trimming.

When Trees Become Unhealthy

A well-cared-for tree will typically last for decades or longer. There are also many reasons a tree might need to be removed before its time. Even with regular trimming and pruning, a tree may become afflicted due to environmental factors. Although most healthy trees are able to weather common environmental stressors, trees with any degree of compromised health are far more susceptible to damage.

When unhealthy trees encounter high winds or heavy snow, they can become uprooted or even fall, causing damage to your home, property, or anyone nearby. Tree limbs can weigh hundreds of pounds, making them a serious threat when they break. It’s important to remove trees before they cause damage or threaten your family’s safety.
