Just a little knowledge can help prevent big problems.
What to look for
Dead branches: an accident waiting to happen
Branches that cross or rub: This usually means there is a weak spot that should be pruned off.

How to tell when a tree is in ill health?
Experts say that vigor is reflected in the amount of leaf cover, size and color
With the winds up over the last several days in the bay area this is a good reminder that we need to promote proactive tree care.
