Dead branches throughout canopy
Dead
branches throughout the canopy can indicate a root problem. The tree in the
photo has a thin canopy because it is stressed and it has been pruned periodically
to remove the dead branches. In addition to old age, the cause of some of these problems can include
the following:
- See: squirrel damage
- See: soil compaction
- See: root cutting or root disease
- See: severe trunk injury
- See: drought
- See: pest problem
- See: nutrient deficiency
