Are Your Trees in Danger of Falling?

There are few things that are more unsightly and potentially dangerous to your property than a tree that is leaning to one side. While the danger may initially appear to be only cosmetic, there are deeper issues for both the tree and your property if these leaning trees aren’t remedied as quickly as possible, either with professional tree pruning or large tree removal in Newton, MA. If you suspect that any of your trees might be in trouble, here are a few facts about leaning trees that every homeowner must know.

Healthy tree growth

Mature trees generally only have one trunk that supports and promotes normal and strong growth. Trees that have split into multiple trunks will naturally lack the same stability that a tree growing out of one trunk will have, and your tree could begin leaning as a result. Trees split into multiple trunks when they are severely diseased or damaged, so be sure to keep a close eye on the condition of your trees regularly.

For the most part, trees that are healthy grow straight out of the ground and develop upwards. This means that if you notice any heavy leaning of the trees on your property to one side or the other, it is a good indication that your tree could be on its way to potentially falling over. This can create dangerous conditions on your property, and you should have a professional assess the situation as soon as possible to determine the correct next steps.

Check for disease frequently

The health of even the strongest tree can quickly be compromised when diseased. Therefore, it is a necessity for homeowners to constantly be on the lookout for any signs of disease, such as discoloration that turns the leaves yellow or black, or the absence of leaf growth altogether. If you see any of these signs, make sure to speak with a qualified tree removal service right away to determine just what disease your tree might have, and what the best course of action will be to either remove or nurse the tree back to health. Keep in mind that even if a tree is not diseased, its condition, growth pattern and location could still be posing a threat to your home.
