Signs of a Risky Tree<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Although you want your house to be spooky on Halloween, you don\u2019t want it to be dangerous! So be sure you know your trees are in stable condition before inviting the public onto your premises. You can tell simply by looking at a tree whether or not it poses a risk of falling over, breaking apart, or losing a heavy limb. The most common signs that a tree is sick, diseased, or damaged include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u26a0 Heavy Tilting in One Direction
\u26a0 Early Leaf Loss
\u26a0 Dead Spots or Blights on Leaves
\u26a0 Unusual Leaf Behaviors or Changes
\u26a0 Peeling or Missing Bark
\u26a0 Wet or Slimy Bark
\u26a0 Insect or Pest Infestation
\u26a0 Exposed Roots
\u26a0 Uprooted Trees
\u26a0 Low Drooping Branches and Limbs
\u26a0 Cracked or Broken Limbs in Canopy
\u26a0 Swollen Trunk or Branches<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dead Trees and Newly Transplanted Trees<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

If you have a tree that is very old and dead, it could\npotentially be at risk of falling over at any time. This includes trees with\nheavy damage, such as lightning-struck trees and rotted tree trunks. Even trees\nthat are not sick or dead can pose hazards, such as newly transplanted trees.\nBe sure to stake these well in order to prevent the possibility of them falling\nover on someone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What You Should Do<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

If any of the trees on your property exhibit signs of poor\nhealth or potential hazard, contact a local Indianapolis tree service company\nfor a professional inspection. They will use a comprehensive approach to examine\nall conditions and factors surrounding your tree, and make qualified\nrecommendations for your best course of action. In most cases, the best course\nof action is to remove a dangerous tree. In some cases, the tree can simply be\nstaked, or cabled and braced, to enhance stability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
