Most tree failures don't happen without warning. The problem is that the signs can be easy to overlook if you don't know what to look for. Here are five things Central Mississippi homeowners should check on the trees around their property right now.
Dead branches concentrated in one area of the canopy, bark that is cracking or falling away in large sections, fungal growth at the base of the trunk, and a visible lean that wasn't there last year are all indicators that a tree may be compromised. Soil that has begun to heave or lift near the root zone is another warning signal that the root system may be failing, especially after a wet spring.
A professional evaluation is the only way to know for certain whether a tree is stable or a genuine liability. Barone's Tree has a licensed tree surgeon on staff and 40+ years of experience assessing trees across Brandon, Madison, Rankin, and Hinds Counties. We'll tell you exactly what we see and what the options are, no pressure, no surprises.

A close-up photo of a tree showing one of these warning signs works well: fungal growth at the base, cracked bark, dead limbs, or a visible lean. An in-progress inspection photo with crew looking up into the canopy is also effective. Authentic field photos from Mississippi properties are strongly preferred over stock.
