Root Damage

Dead Branches

Sprouts are basically small plants that come out of a tree. They come out near the base of the tree. Sprouts usually appear when a tree isn't doing well. Sprouts steal resources from the tree, further compromising the integrity of the tree. If you have a tree that has sprouts growing on it, you need to remove the sprouts and see if the tree needs to be removed as well.
