Tree Tip Tuesday: What Leaf Drop Can Reveal About Tree Structure
When the leaves come down, your trees have nothing left to hide. Without a full canopy, it’s much easier to see what’s going on with their structure, like:
- Dead or broken limbs that could fall in a winter storm
- Branches that cross and rub against each other
- Weak, V-shaped spots where two trunks or large limbs split
- Cracks, cavities, or decay along the trunk and main branches
Late fall and winter are a great time to have your trees looked at and pruned. You can see problems clearly, and fixing them now helps protect your home and property before snow and ice add extra weight.
