Looking at this tree, its clearly dead, right? Well, actually, no! We spotted this tree on a hiking trail and it shows a pretty cool story. Half of this tree broke off years prior causing one side of the cambium of the tree to wither and die. The other side is lively and full of green needles. This white pine (pinus strobus) is nearly 100 feet tall and ostensibly thriving if you didn't walk to the back side of the tree.
Why does this matter? If the lively side of this tree is facing your home, you may not know there is a very large potential problem lurking on the backside of this tree and your yard, home, or family are potential targets. Things like this can go completely unnoticed without the experience of an arborist to give a full risk assessment in your yard.
Give us a call to schedule your risk assessment for trees in your yard before the winter months bring Nor'easters, blizzards, and ice accretion on your trees.
