A Guide to Potential Tree Problems

• Look for dead wood, branches with brown leaves or no leaves at all
• Look for cracks and lifting of soil around the base of the tree trunk - a sign of uprooting
• Over hanging branches on public highways may will need surgery
• Fungi or mushrooms growing around the base may be a sign of serious decay
