How should a tree be removed if it is known to be dead? As soon as possible!! If you suspect a tree is dead, call an arborist to be certain & then make arrangements to have it removed. The risk factor of the tree will be evaluated. If it poses the possibility of striking a home, car or someone walking by then of course it must be removed immediately. If the tree is in no danger of striking anything if it falls then you would be safe to remove it within a reasonable time, like six months. It is important to remove dead trees because if the tree died because of a disease that can be spread, then you would want to remove that diseased tree before the infection could move to another nearby tree in order to find a new host. |
