Recognizing tree risk involves observing signs of potential hazards. Here are a few common indicators:
– Cracks or Splits: Visible fractures in the trunk or branches.
– Leaning Trees: A sudden or progressive lean, especially with disturbed soil at the base.
– Deadwood: Large, dead branches that could fall.
– Fungal Growth: Mushrooms or other fungi at the base or on the trunk.
– Cavities or Decay: Hollow areas in the trunk or large branches.
Permits are often required to remove trees, especially if they are large, protected, or in a conservation area. Check with your local council or municipality for specific regulations.
You can often request firewood or woodchips from your local arborist or tree removal service. Some companies offer these materials for free or at a low cost.
