Trees add beauty and value to your property, but they can also pose risks if they become unstable or diseased. Recognizing the warning signs of a hazardous tree is essential to protect your home, loved ones, and nearby structures. At AZ Desert Tree Care, we can identify dangerous trees and safely remove them. Here are five signs that a tree might be creating a safety risk. Dead or Dying Branches Dead or dying branches are one of the most obvious indications of a hazardous tree. These branches are brittle, lack foliage, and can fall without warning, especially during storms or strong winds. Even smaller branches can cause damage if they fall on vehicles, roofs, or people. Regular inspections and timely pruning can help reduce this risk. Leaning Trunk While some trees naturally grow at an angle, a sudden or severe lean may indicate structural instability. A leaning tree might have root damage, soil erosion, or internal decay that compromises its support system. If the lean is accompanied by exposed roots, the tree may be at immediate risk of falling and should be assessed by a professional arborist. Cracks or Cavities in the Trunk Cracks, splits, or cavities in a tree’s trunk are signs of potential structural weakness. These defects may develop due to storm damage, disease, or decay and can compromise the tree’s ability to support its weight. Large cavities or multiple cracks are especially concerning, as they can lead to a sudden trunk failure. Overhanging Branches Branches that hang over your home, driveway, or power lines are a major safety concern. These branches can fall during severe weather, causing property damage or power outages. Also, overhanging branches can provide easy access for pests to enter your home. Regular trimming of these branches is crucial to reduce risk and maintain safety. Fungal Growth at the Base The presence of fungal growth at the base of a tree is often a sign of internal decay. This can weaken the tree’s structural integrity, increasing the likelihood of collapse. Fungal growth is a warning sign that the tree’s health is compromised and should prompt an inspection by the arborist.
