Dead Limbs and Branches

Dead and damaged branches and limbs present a risk of damage by uncontrolled falling, and injured or dead limbs are an open invitation (like a super highway) inviting decay and disease into the main body of the tree. Such terminal conditions for limbs and branches are unsightly, and of course, are a dead weight on the tree itself and may cause further damage to other branches or limbs on your tree.

Dead trees

In the spring, if you see a tree on your property that does not sprout leaves, you can be sure it is dead. Such trees should be cut and removed immediately, especially if its location and positioning can cause further damage or injury if it collapses and falls. Dead trees may also harbor disease and insects which could damage other trees on your estate or even on your neighbor’s property. Prompt removal of dead trees is advisable and the most common task performed by professional arborists.
