One side or the top bare while the rest leafs out normally, often with a surprisingly distinct vertical dividing line. Thinning and smaller, paler leaves on the affected side, sprouts erupting along the trunk below the dead section, and frequently a strip of dead, cracked or sunken bark running down the trunk on that same side.

A directional signal, not a diagnosis. Because a tree's vascular system is sectored — water and sugars move in vertical strips rather than mixing freely around the trunk — a dead sector usually points straight down at its own cause. The dead half is telling you which side of the root system, root flare or trunk to go inspect.
This is normally a tree trimming job, which around here runs $250 to $1,400 depending on size and access. Treat that as a range, not a quote — nobody can price it without seeing it.
