How to spot weak branches, root issues, or disease before it’s too late.
- Cracks in the Trunk
Deep splits can be a sign of structural instability and potential breakage. - Dead or Hanging Branches
Large, lifeless limbs can fall without warning—especially during wind or storms. - Leaning Tree
A tree that’s recently begun to lean may be suffering from root failure. - Fungus or Mushrooms at the Base
Fungal growth can signal internal rot, which weakens the entire tree. - Sparse or Discolored Leaves
A thinning canopy may be a sign of disease or poor soil conditions. - Exposed Roots or Soil Movement
Movement in the soil or visible roots may mean the tree is shifting or uprooting. - Strange Noises in Wind
Creaking or popping sounds may mean branches are stressed and near breaking.
