A tree on your property that is in poor
health can pose several liability issues. They can injure people or
destroy property if they fall. If the tree hits a main utility line
it may cause power outages, surges, fires and other costly damages. A
tree near utility lines with potential to fall should be addressed
immediately. Consider these things when surveying trees, whether they
are near utility lines or not.
- Look for large dead branches in the trees canopy.
- An abundance of broken branches hanging in the tree.
- Check for any cavities or rotten wood along the trunk and major branches of the tree.
- Make note of any mushrooms or other fungi growing at the base of the tree.
- Look for any separation between the trunk and large branches
- Have any trees near the tree in question fallen or died?
- Look at the root structure and notice anywhere the a root's growth has been impeded, damaged or broken off.
- Check that the leaves on the tree change color approximately the same time as the trees around it.
Providing routine care for mature trees
is essential for preventing them from becoming a risk. Recognizing
and reducing tree hazards increases the life of the tree, and
ultimately provides a safer environment for your family and
neighbors. If you are in need of tree removal in South Orange call
