1

There is really enough work in the garden in the fall. It is necessary not only to prepare the soil and beds for the next season, but also to inspect all the trees. Somewhere sanitary pruning is required, pest control, and in some cases a decision may be made to cut down the tree.

Dangerous signs

The tilt of the tree has become critical

You don't want to believe that you will have to say goodbye to the tree, but the fact remains. Certain signs can go unnoticed for a certain time. Pay attention to them:

• trunk tilt;
• severe trunk damage;
• the tree is rotting;
• half of the crown is dry.

The trunk tilts for a reason. So, there is a fact of damage to the root system. It is not able to hold the tree, its above-ground part. A damaged tree is usually cut down.

A severely damaged tree with a hollow

With severe damage to the trunk, it is difficult to talk about a healthy tree. It may be sick, severely damaged by pests, rodents. For example, bacterial cancer or burns will definitely not be able to be cured.

The rotting of a tree indicates irreversible processes. What exactly caused it, you need to figure out. However, it can be not only care errors, but also nearby groundwater.

Regularly inspect the crowns of trees. If you find a specimen where half of the branches are already dry, the prognosis is bleak. Most likely, the tree is dying. This is especially evident from the lack of young growth.
