Emergency tree removal is called when a tree gets damaged to the point that it poses danger to the surrounding structures, passing by people, and moving vehicles. Such situations would typically be more frequent during the hurricane season in South Florida, however, it can also happen after any rain, whether it is accompanied by strong winds or not. Sometimes, a tree can become hazardous suddenly and unexpectedly simply because the crown grew too large, the tree is too old and dying or the trunk became hollow and fragile due to infection with pests. Regardless of the reason, if a tree threatens your livelihood, do not hesitate and call the professionals so they can remove a hazardous tree before it causes more damage.

Trees are very resilient plant species on Earth. Their hard trunks and branches allow them to withstand strong winds and heavy rains, their thick bark protects them from pests and infections, their massive root systems hold them firmly in the ground and their intricate webs of vessel-like channels allow them to pull mineralized water from the depths of the earth and deliver it to the highest tiny leaf at the top of the crown and then bring back the food made from sunlight and carbon dioxide to every cell of this giant organism.
In South Florida, as anywhere else on the planet, trees are indispensable assets of almost every property. They provide a shield from the rain and burning rays of the sun and some even food, while absorbing excess water, preventing landslides and erosion of the soil. Their fallen leaves provide food for bacteria that turns them into humus for other plants to thrive on.
Nevertheless, trees are not invincible and sometimes they can become unsafe for the surroundings. No matter how hard the bark is, some insects are still able to penetrate it and cause disease and death of a tree. Sometimes, the branches can get broken during the storm and strong winds can uproot even a large, especially if the storm is accompanied by a heavy rainfall, making the soil too loose for the tree to hold on to.

Once a fire reaches a tree, it first hits the bark. Since the bark is the tree’s natural protection, it can hold up to a certain temperature, but any stronger fire will easily burn through it and reach the area under the bark, which is far more sensitive. Once the tubes that are carrying water and minerals get damaged, the water from the tree starts to evaporate and the carbon (tree-building material) combines with oxygen from the air, releasing CO2 to the atmosphere and turning organic matter into minerals-rich ash that will feed the soil it spreads on.

Dead palm trees pose a risk of falling, especially during Florida’s frequent storms and high winds. When a palm tree dies, it becomes weak and wobbly, which means it can easily tip over or break.
