Is My Tree a Hazard?
- Does my tree have a dead branch or branches?
- Are there any branches detached, but still hanging in my tree that could fall?
- Is there any rotten wood in my tree (especially on the trunk or large branches)?
- Does my tree have any parasites such as mushrooms near the base?
- Does my tree have splits or cracks where the branches intersect with the trunk?
- Are there any other trees in close proximity to my tree that have recently died or fallen?
- Is my tree leaning in one direction?
- Do most of the branches originate from the same side of my tree?
- Has my tree been excessively pruned?
- Does the leaf growth on my tree appear normal or unusual in color or sizing?
