Not only do they provide endless aesthetic appeal and enjoyment, they give us shade and privacy, which improves our indoor energy efficiency and reduce external noise pollution. As a family grows year after year, trees do too, making it harder to say goodbye to the ones that need removed. But sometimes, old or ill trees can pose a serious safety concern for humans, pets, and properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to remove a hazardous tree within a few short days of discovering it. A dead, dying, or bedridden tree is likely to fall at any moment, depending on its condition. So taking preventative precaution is strongly encouraged for everyone\u2019s safety. But how do you know when a tree is hazardous? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Continue reading and learn the signs of a sick, dead, or dying tree.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"526\" src=\"https:\/\/www.treeservicefishers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Dead-Tree-Removal-Fishers-Indiana-II-e1579108467363.jpg\" alt=\"Fishers Tree Services 317-537-9770\" class=\"wp-image-876\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.treeservicefishers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Dead-Tree-Removal-Fishers-Indiana-II-e1579108467363.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.treeservicefishers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Dead-Tree-Removal-Fishers-Indiana-II-e1579108467363-300x175.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.treeservicefishers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Dead-Tree-Removal-Fishers-Indiana-II-e1579108467363-768x449.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption>Fishers Tree Services 317-537-9770<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dead and Dying Trees<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Dead trees are the easiest to spot. To identify a dead tree, simply take a twig and scratch the surface of it with a knife. What does the inner meat look like? A bright green implies a healthy, but probably dormant, tree. A dull green implies a lower vigor and might mean there is an issue. But brown or dark meat underneath the bark skin signifies a dead tree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An obvious sign of a dead tree is significant leaf reduction or leaf loss. Outside of winter, a healthy tree grows its leaves back. If it is spring or summer, and a tree is bare, it\u2019s dead or dying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another sign of an unhealthy or dying tree is peeling tree bark. When the bark of a tree is spongy, or if it\u2019s brittle and crumbles off at the slightest touch, it is in trouble. It is either already dead or close to it. The same goes for tree limbs and branches. If you notice that many branches and limbs are falling from the tree, or missing from the tree, it is a sure sign that the tree is unhealthy and therefore, unsafe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last, you can check for insect infestation to gauge the health and condition of a tree. If you notice a large infestation of beetles or other obtrusive insects, then it may have a tree disease of some sort. This too makes a tree unsafe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trusted Tree Removal in Fishers Indiana<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Call 317-537-9770<\/strong> for professional tree removal in Fishers, Indiana.
