One of the evident signs that a plant must be taken down is if it’s dead or dying. Dead trees are without leaves and can have a lifeless appearance. If a tree doesn’t have leaves or signs of growth, it’s probably dead. In addition, the bark of dead trees may be dry, cracked, or peeling.

Trees that are leaning to one side may indicate of a failing root structure and the tree may be in danger of falling. To identify if a leaning tree could be a threat, check for cracks or breaks in the trunk and examine the soil around the base of the tree.
