Signs a tree may be dying

Brown needles or no leaves in season
Bark falling off, fungus on the trunk or roots
Large dead limbs in the crown
Cracks, cavities, or a new lean
Small holes or pitch tubes on pines (possible beetle activity)

These are general warning signs, not a diagnosis. A licensed tree expert can tell you whether the tree can be saved.
