Trees need to be inspected periodically by a tree professional for health and potential hazards.

Call right away if you see one of these warning signs:

  • Splits or cracks in the truck - indicates weakness and may be solved by bracing or cabling

  • Hanging branches - need to be removed before becoming a danger, consider the height and size before attempting to prune yourself. Do not attempt tree pruning from a ladder, contact a professional.

  • Tilting - can indicate a root problem.

  • Hollows, mushrooms - can indicate diseased, rotting or dying trees.

When it comes to safety, it's better to be over cautious.
