Fall is your last chance to address tree issues before Vermont's winter weather arrives.
Dead or dying branches are easiest to spot in fall as leaves change and drop. Branches that stayed bare all summer are dead.
Fungal growth like mushrooms at the base or on the trunk indicate internal decay.
Cracks and cavities in the trunk weaken the tree's ability to handle ice and snow loads.
Root zone issues including heaving soil, circling roots, or damage from construction.
Remove dead and hanging branches. Trim clearance from structures. Schedule removal of any hazardous trees before winter makes the job more difficult and expensive.
