A dead tree isn’t just an eyesore—it can become a serious safety hazard. When trees die, their structural integrity weakens, making them prone to falling, especially during storms or high winds. Falling limbs or entire trees can cause significant property damage or injury. That’s why it’s essential to recognize the signs of a dead tree early and consult with a professional arborist to determine if removal is necessary. At The Tree Guy, our local arborists are experts at identifying and safely removing dead trees. Here are four signs that a tree is dead and should be taken down by an expert. No Leaf Growth One of the most obvious indications that a tree is dead is the absence of leaves during the growing season. If a tree remains bare while neighboring trees are full of leaves, it may be dead or dying. This is especially telling in deciduous trees that should leaf out in spring. Dead trees will not produce new growth, and their branches will stay barren even when environmental conditions are favorable. Brittle or Crumbling Bark The bark of a healthy tree should be relatively firm and intact. If the bark is peeling excessively, flaking off, or crumbling when touched, this can point to a serious health problem. In many cases, dead trees will have large sections of missing bark or deep cracks in the trunk. These signs reflect internal decay. Branches Snap Easily When you break off a branch from a living tree, you’ll usually find it’s somewhat flexible and green on the inside. In contrast, branches from a dead tree will snap easily, feel dry, and appear brown or gray throughout. If multiple branches across different parts of the tree show this level of brittleness, it’s a strong indicator that the tree is beyond saving. Fungus Growth on the Trunk or Roots Fungal growth at the base of a tree or along its trunk can be a symptom of internal rot. When a tree begins to decay from the inside, fungi often take hold in the weakened wood. While not every fungal presence means a tree is dead, it’s often a sign of significant internal damage. An arborist can evaluate the severity and determine if the tree poses a safety risk.

He helped me with caring for my palm trees and educated me on their anatomy, good and bad signs, how to take care of them, and he was excited about it the whole time. You can tell he loves his job and he will always be my first call when I need the job done right.” — Gary S. “John was amazing from the beginning to end. Made sure to explain what work should be done on our trees and gave us the best and fairest price for the service. His crew was very attentive to details and made sure to get the work done exactly as we wanted without damaging any off the trees. We had 6 palm trees done and another tree trimming. They cleaned up everything afterwards. Would definitely recommend them.” — Luiz K. “Thorough knowledge and understanding of trees and their needs. Intelligent accommodation of our wishes.
