10 Signs a Tree May Need Professional Attention

It's not always obvious when a tree needs attention. These are some of the more common warning signs.

Signs worth getting checked

• Dead or dying branches throughout the crown
• Cracks or splits in the trunk or major limbs
• Fungal growth at the base or on the trunk
• A lean that has changed or worsened
• Bark that is peeling, missing or damaged
• Branches rubbing or crossing excessively
• Roots lifting paths, drives or foundations
• Branches overhanging buildings, roads or play areas
• Storm or impact damage
• The tree simply looking too large for its surroundings

One sign isn't a diagnosis

Spotting one of these signs doesn't automatically mean a tree needs removing, and a tree with none of them isn't automatically problem-free. It's worth having it properly assessed rather than guessing.
