Deadwood removal is exactly that - it is the process of cutting out and removing dead branches from within a tree. These parts of the tree may have died due to disease, damage, dehydration, or simply due to the natural aging process.
Just because a tree has deadwood doesn’t automatically mean the tree itself is sick or dying. Still, the best course of action is to consult with a professional arborist to assess the tree and arrange to have the deadwood removed.
Why remove the deadwood?
The dying or dead limbs not only draw energy from the tree but also pose a risk to what’s below. There will come a time when the dead limbs become so brittle that they will detach from the tree and fall to the ground, potentially damaging properties or vehicles, injuring animals or people unlucky enough to be underneath at the time.
Deadwood left in a tree is unsightly and makes the tree look unkempt. It can become a home to unwanted insects, organisms or fungi. These pests could then potentially spread to healthy parts of the tree, creating a bigger problem.
Regular deadwood removal and pruning:
- Enhances a tree's natural shape and beauty
- Allows more sunlight penetration through the branches
- Provides more airflow within the tree
