Some warning signs are easy to spot from the ground. Dead or dying branches can break off without notice, and cracks or splits in the trunk or major limbs weaken the tree’s structure and raise the chance of failure. A tree with borer activity or a history of pest problems may also be struggling more than it looks.
Location matters just as much as condition. A defective tree in an open paddock is a different proposition from one over a driveway, a play area, a roofline or a power line. The closer a tree stands to people, buildings and utilities, the higher the risk, particularly in severe weather.
