Here’s What To Do If Your Tree is Growing Out Instead Of Up.

Branches Growing Outward: What It Means
Tree growth comes in numerous forms, and it depends on a variety of factors: the type of tree, your area’s climate, the overall health of the tree and your property, how much quality care the tree receives (and has received over time), and the presence of potentially harmful organisms or chemicals on your property are all factors that can significantly affect tree growth. For the most part, undesirable tree growth can be split into two categories: aesthetically undesirable and/or hazardous.
Aesthetically Undesirable Growth and Treatment
Aesthetically undesirable growth on your property can easily be taken care of with a good trim. We highly recommend opting for professional trimming services instead of attempting a DIY or letting a friendly neighbor do the job. Too often, well-intentioned tree care amateurs can end up causing damage to their trees and an otherwise easy trim can become a much more difficult (and expensive) job. If all you’re looking to do is spruce up your property so that it looks its best, give a reliable tree trimming professional a call.
Potentially Hazardous Growth and Treatment
- Branches and/or parts of your tree trunk are showing signs of disease or decay, which includes gray, flaky bark; deep and noticeable gouges; mushroom growth around the roots; unseasonably bare branches around the tree’s crown.
- Branches are growing in the direction of or close to power lines. If you notice this, call a professional immediately. Do not attempt to prune the branches yourself.
- A recent storm has left a tree on your property (or its branches) bent, crooked, or otherwise loose.
Depending on what’s going on with your tree, your tree service professional may recommend a few different treatment options. Firstly, the tree may just need a trim. This is likely to be recommended if the branch growth looks healthy and the tree is in good shape.
Secondly, tree pruning may be recommended. Pruning is done to remove branches that are impeding your tree’s growth. This may be the way to go if certain branches on your tree are broken, cracked, diseased, or dead.
Finally, and most drastically, if the tree itself is diseased or decaying, your tree service specialist will likely recommend a removal. This is a last resort, and it’s only recommended if the tree is posing any danger to your property. If a trusted tree service professional recommends removal, know that they aren’t doing so lightly. We strongly recommend heeding their advice (or, at the very least, getting a second opinion from another professional).
