5 Signs a Tree Might Fall

Trees can become hazards over time. Watch for these five warning signs:

1. Leaning suddenly

A tree that has recently started to lean may have compromised roots.

2. Cracks in the trunk

Deep vertical cracks or splits weaken the tree's structure.

3. Dead or hanging branches

Large dead limbs can fall without warning.

4. Root damage or heaving soil

Lifted soil near the base signals root problems.

5. Fungus or hollow areas

Mushrooms at the base or a hollow trunk indicate internal decay.
