In this Bob Vila interview, Matt Schaefer, district manager of Davey's Barrington office, talks seven signs your trees may be dying and what you can do to save it.

But it’s not always clear when trees are in poor health, which can make it difficult to address especially when a dead or dying tree located near a building or home.
