How to Tell if a Fir Tree is Dying

Signs of Tree Death

Fir trees can last an impressively long time with the right nutrients and environment to live in. However, when one does begin to die, it immediately becomes a problem. Fir trees can grow in excess of fifty feet tall, so when they begin to die, all that wood immediately becomes a hazard for everyone nearby. A fir tree that has stood tall through several storms can easily become unstable and topple once it loses its vitality. This can lead to downed power lines, road hazards, home damage, or even injury for those living near it.

If your fir tree is showing signs of excessive bark loss, if the wood becomes extremely pale or white in color, and if you see excessive insect infestation and no sap emerging from the tree at any time, it’s likely dying. In this case, it’s best to prepare for the tree’s removal. If you act quickly, you can even topple it and cut it up for purposes of lumber or firewood storage. If you delay, however, the tree could become a serious danger to you and those living near you.

Opportunities for Tree Removal

Attempting to remove an entire fir tree yourself is very hazardous and is not recommended. Improper removal can bring the tree down in a number of ways that might cause damage to your property. Instead, why not call a tree or lumber removal service? This saves you time, effort, and risk in your yard. Call a professional service, and if you live in the Southeast Pennsylvania area, without a doubt call Rick’s Tree Service.
