Trees are often a great property feature if they are healthy and robust. However, tree removal may be required in some instances, especially if a declining tree poses a risk of damage or injury. Todd’s Tip Top Complete Tree Service in north-central Wisconsin, suggests you check your trees for signs of declining tree health.

Signs Your Trees May Be in Trouble

1. Fungus Growth

Mushrooms at the base of your tree or on the trunk can indicate the health of your tree has been compromised. Fungus typically indicates rot, and extensive rot can result in a lack of stability. If you notice fungus on your tree, contact a tree service to have them determine whether it needs to be removed.

2. Root Invasion

The roots of your tree can also wreak havoc on your property if there is an issue with the placement of the tree. If roots encroach on your plumbing system, damage can be extensive and may call for a complete replacement of your plumbing system. Because removing problem roots is usually not sufficient to prevent further issues, having the tree completely removed is usually the best option.

3. Tree Disease

Along with fungus, diseased trees can present many other symptoms. These include rotting or weakened branches, discolored leaves, and rotting within the root system. The more compromised a tree is, the more likely branches will break loose, and falling branches can damage property belonging to you and your neighbors.
