In the Piedmont Triad of NC we are lucky to have so many trees to provide shade and add beauty to our yards. When these trees are damaged or diseased, they can weaken and become a hazard to your personal safety and property. Recognizing hazardous trees and taking proper action can prevent expensive and possible deadly accidents from occurring. Knowing when to have your trees removed may help prevent accidents in the future.
A professional arborist is skilled at assessing the damage and vulnerability of a tree. He can determine whether the tree is a hazard and needs to be removed or not. You should inspect your trees yearly and after any big storms. Be sure to check all parts of the tree, including the roots, trunk, main stem, branches, and branch unions. Look at all sides of the tree and use binoculars to see the parts that are high.
What to look for:
Dead Trees: Dead trees and large dead branches need to be removed immediately. These branches are brittle and can fall off at any time.
Cracks: A crack indicates that the tree is damaged and is failing.
Decay: Some decay on a tree is okay. Advanced decay may indicate that the tree is hazardous and should be removed.
Cankers: A localized area on the stem or branch of a tree where the bark is sunken or missing is called a canker. If more than half of the tree’s circumference, the tree may be hazardous.
Structural imbalance: A tree that leans excessively or a large branch that is out of proportion with the rest of the crown should be removed.
Root Problems: If a tree is leaning with recent root exposure, soil movement, or soil mounding near the base, the root structure may be weakened.
Weak branch unions: These occur in places where the tree’s branches are not strongly attached to the tree.
