Dear Monica: We are interested in buying a property that has several large trees. Should I be concerned about them? Richard M.

 

Dear Richard: Trees are living things that can add beauty and grandeur to a property. If they are fruit trees, they can also provide wonderful fruit to harvest.

 

If a tree is weak or dying, however, it can be hazardous and should be removed. In a strong wind trees and branches can fall without warning as happened in recent storms. If your property has trees, they must be cared for in order to last a long time
