Enhancing Safety With Dead Wooding
Dead wooding is a process carried out to remove dead, dying or dangerous branches from the crown of a tree. This practice serves primarily for safety reasons, reducing the risk of falling branches. It improves the overall health of the tree by eliminating areas susceptible to disease, fungus infection, or decay.
Regular dead wooding not only enhances safety but also serves as an indicator of the tree’s health. If all dead wood is removed but then significant amounts reappear shortly after, it may signal underlying issues such as disease, fungus infection or root damage.
