What are some common signs that my tree is sick or in need of removal ?
Eight Signs of a Sick Tree You love your trees. They provide shade, beauty and character to your home and yard. The last thing you want is to cut down a treasured tree that doesn’t need to be removed. But a sick tree can be a danger to both your house and your family. One very tragic case we read about involved a mother and her two sons who were killed by a 100-year old falling tree during a thunder storm in 2003. A certified arborist who examined the tree after the accident said its root system was severely damaged by a root rot fungus. This could have been avoided if the tree was inspected early on and removed.
