It's entirely normal for mature trees to develop some deadwood over time, usually as lower or shaded branches stop receiving enough light.
Why deadwood develops
- Natural shading out of lower branches as the crown develops
- Age-related decline in specific limbs
- Localised damage or disease affecting individual branches
The key question isn't whether deadwood exists, but whether its size and location make it worth removing.
