Crossing or rubbing branches, visible deadwood, and a dense canopy blocking light to lower limbs are the common signs. On or near SDSU-adjacent residential blocks with mature boulevard trees, low-hanging limbs near sidewalks are also worth addressing before they become a bigger job.

How often should a mature tree be pruned in Brookings?
Every 3–5 years is typical for a healthy mature shade tree; younger trees benefit from more frequent, lighter structural pruning.
