5 Reasons Why Removing Deadwood is So Important | Arborcraft Tree Services
If you’re wondering whether you should get a Melbourne arborist to remove the dead branches from your tree, the answer is YES.
Dead branches are going to fall from your tree anyway. It is a natural part of a tree’s lifecycle, but there are significant advantages to fast-tracking this process.
Here are five reasons why, and the best Melbourne arborists for the job.
1. Safety. Dead branches pose a serious risk to people and property, particularly if they’re hanging over your home.
2. Unwanted plant pests. Deadwood is a major infection point for decay (like fungus) that can not only cause the wood and trunk to rot but can attract unwanted pests and diseases.
3. Regulations and requirements. Schools and government bodies require dead branches that are 30mm or greater in diameter to be removed as a matter of public safety.
4. It looks better. Improve the overall balance and attractiveness of your tree. Deadwood removal for aesthetic appeal can include removing branches as small as 5mm in diameter.
5. Tree health. Letting more light into your tree allows it to put its energy into generating new lush branches rather than ridding itself of its old ones.
