Here are some signs a tree may be a danger to you and your property:

How does your tree look on the inside?

• A hole in the trunk. A cavity can form in a tree trunk when the tree prunes itself by dropping a branch, which can lead to decay inside the tree.

• Loose limbs.

• Missing bark or deep cracks. Deep cracks in bark are also a bad sign.

• Dead of falling branches is an indication that something is wrong.

• Tilting due to wind or root damage should be removed.

• If a tree loses leaves from the outside, it can mean something is not quite right.

• Root rot can be found if there are mushrooms growing around the base or on the truck of the tree.
