A healthy tree is a beautiful part of your property. A damaged or dying tree, however, can become a serious hazard — especially during severe weather. Knowing the warning signs early can save you from costly property damage and potential safety risks.
Signs Your Tree May Be Unsafe
- Leaning or tilting: A sudden lean could mean the roots are compromised or soil has shifted.
- Cracks or cavities in the trunk: These weaken the tree’s core and increase the chance of splitting.
- Dead branches: Dry, brittle limbs often indicate disease or decay.
- Fungus or mushroom growth: Fungi at the base of a tree can mean internal rot.
- Sparse foliage or leaf discoloration: May signal root damage or pest infestation.
