Areas to Watch with Your Trees
- Missing Bark or Deep Cracks
- Leaning Trunks
- Tight Branch Growth
- Losing Leaves From the Outside In
- Dead and Falling Branches
Missing Bark or Deep Cracks
Deep cracks or missing bark may be caused by a disease known as canker, this can cause a tree to break in that spot. If your tree looks healthy but is developing deep cracks this should not be ignored as with any deep cracks are not the sign of a healthy tree.
Leaning Trucks
If you notice a tree leaning more than 15 degrees from strong winds or root damage the whole tree needs to be removed for safety.
Tight Branch Growth
When branches are growing tightly together this is a bad sign. Elm, Maple, Yellow Poplar and Willow trees will break at the forks of stems where weak formations are. Noticing a “V” shaped structure is not healthy and should be more like a “U” for a strong union.
Losing Leaves from the Outside In
This can be a sign that there are root system problems. As the roots are where the tree gets its nutrients and water from.
Dead and Falling Branches
As the tree is trying to make itself smaller so that has less to feed, big branches could be noticed falling from the tree, more than usual. Any dead branches should be removed as soon as possible to ensure safety.

As winter sets in around the South West, so do the storms. To ensure your property is safe from extensive damage and your family is safe from harm, it may be time to get the professionals in to assess your property’s trees and surrounding flora. Trees, branches, shrubs and debris lying around can be picked up by strong wind gusts and cause irreparable damage to your home and injury to the people around them.
When it comes to damage to homes, cars, fences and utility services, one of the biggest culprits are large trees. Getting them pruned every year may not be enough when the tree becomes a hazard and has grown too close to power lines or the roots start lifting up house foundation and paving.
