Just because they are missing a few limbs or are looking limp doesn't mean they need to be removed. Ask for assistance from tree care specialists such as Cartwright Tree Care. We are tree care specialists that can help you in all your tree care needs and maintenance services.
Assess the tree damage first. Lightly damaged limbs can be pruned to see if the tree will continue to grow. Make sure the tree has some strong limbs on a healthy trunk as this will tell you the tree still has a chance of survival. A young tree can survive easier from damaged limbs. Prune them back as well and wait to see its growth.
A damaged tree will have a rotted trunk that will probably split. A weak structure will cause the tree to split in which means it will need to be removed. Trees that have lost so many branches, leaving the trunk opened to the hot sun may also need to be removed.
Allow us at Cartwright Tree Care to assess the damage before removing it all together. You can contact us via our website or by calling 816-965-6758.
