Dead Wooding is where branches or limbs die off within a tree and can either break off or become vulnerable and dangerous. Removing the deadwood reduces the weight of the tree and reduces the risk of limbs falling or breaking off in high winds.

If dead limbs are left unattended, it will attract pests and diseases which will affect the overall health of the tree as rot can set in and spread to healthy areas. This can eventually lead to fungus issues and further damage, rendering the tree beyond help.

Dead Wood Pruning is mainly used for safety and the continued health of a tree, though there are other benefits, depending on where the tree is situated, it may cause a potential threat to pedestrians, traffic, or children playing below, which is why it’s so important to catch the deadwood early and get it removed professionally and safely. Removing dead wood in a tree not only improves the aesthetic appearance but in turn, increases the amount of light that can pass through and makes the tree more susceptible to high winds.

Dead Wood Benefits Include

– Provides safety to areas removing the dead branches and limbs before they fall and potentially hurt someone
– When the branches are dead, dead wood pruning removes this stress of the extra weight, giving the tree improved balance
– When dead branches are removed from a tree, it makes the tree look much healthier and make it more aesthetically pleasing to look at
