Arborists are sharing guidance on the warning signs that mean a tree should be removed rather than saved. Key indicators include dead or hanging branches, visible decay or fungal growth at the base, leaning trunks, root damage, and trees too close to structures or power lines. Experts recommend a professional assessment before removal, since some problems can be treated and trees that look risky may still be healthy and safe to keep.
