Consider removal when a juniper shows major deadwood, a leaning trunk, root or fungal damage, or has outgrown its space near a structure. Highly flammable; dense foliage.
- Structural decline: large dead limbs or cracks in the main stem.
- Root issues: moderate roots can lift pavement or threaten foundations.
