Trees eventually will die, sometimes from the inside out. Rot, insects and disease show themselves in trees in various ways. If ignored, limbs and sometimes entire trees collapse and fal,l which could cause damage to buildings and people. Besides pruning to ‘weed’ out the damaged or sick tree parts, we also install high-strength cables and other hardware to reinforce particular trees which are in danger of breaking or liable to wind-throw.

All the trees below show signs of rot.
