A tree can come through a storm looking fine from the street and still be holding a broken limb high in the canopy.
Hanging limbs can stay lodged for weeks before a gust or rain shower brings them down. Cracked leaders, split unions, and bark peeled back from a fresh break are other signs of hidden damage on the laurel oaks and live oaks common across Brevard.
Late in hurricane season is a good time to walk your property with binoculars and look up into the crown for dangling or discolored branches. If something looks off, do not try to pull it down with a rope or ladder; that is how homeowners get hurt.
Our crew handles hanging limb removal quickly, with an ISA Certified Arborist assessing whether the rest of the tree is sound. That second look matters, because a tree that lost one limb may have other weak points that are not visible from the ground.
