Trees Worth Saving for Home Shade and Ornament
Tree specialists from the United States Department of Agriculture advise that most shade and ornamental trees with only a few dead limbs are worth treatment. Those with extensive decay or many dead limbs may not be cost effective, especially if the tree is rapid growing and short lived. Often replacing with a healthy tree yields better long term satisfaction.
