Below are a few signs that indicate your tree may need removal:<\/p>\n

Decay<\/h2>\n

Tree decay can be caused by infestations of fungi, mold, or pests. If not immediately discovered and addressed correctly, this decay could pass on to other trees. Oftentimes, this can be taken care of through pruning or other treatments, you may want to remove the decaying tree altogether, just to be safe.<\/p>\n

Specific signs of decay include dead leaves hanging on to branches during the winter, branches that are bare on one side, the trunk appearing to lean to one side, smooth areas of the tree without bark, and other numerous irregular deformities.<\/p>\n

Insects<\/h2>\n

Leaves with many holes or significant damage to the bark can imply that pests have invaded your tree. Sometimes, these pests are detrimental to their overall health. You will want to consult with a certified arborist<\/a> to determine whether the insects that have infested your tree are damaging it or harmlessly living in it.<\/p>\n

Fewer Leaves<\/h2>\n

Leaves are the number one indicator of a tree\u2019s health and can determine if your tree has problems with its roots, pests, or other issues. If you\u2019ve noticed that your tree has fewer leaves or bare branches, then it may be diseased or experiencing other problems, which needs to be evaluated sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n

Dead Branches<\/h2>\n

Dead branches can be really hard to look for since they may be mixed in with healthy branches. Dead branches should undergo regular maintenance from season to season, which will help prevent long term damage to your tree.<\/p>\n

Storm Damage<\/h2>\n

During rain and snowstorms, monitor your trees from a safe distance. After the storm subsides, you will want to inspect your trees for missing branches. Some trees are able to survive after losing a lot of their branches.<\/p>\n

However, if they lose a lot of their crown, which is the uppermost layer of branches on the tree, they may not recover<\/a>. Consult with your local tree removal company<\/a> to see how they can assist you further.<\/p>\n
