sweet gum trees

Asked March 17, 2013, 1:37 AM EDT

I have two sweet gums that are dying from the top down. I live in The Woodlands and need to verify that the trees are okay for removal verses topping off by a tree service. If they are dying from the top down are they considered dead already and unable to be salvaged?

Thanks for the question. The symptoms that you are describing, indicate the trees are suffering from some type of stress. I would suggest contacting the Texas Forest Service for a definitive answer and further investigation. Thanks again for your question.
