⚠ This is a general awareness tool, not a substitute for a real inspection. Trees can look fine and still have serious structural issues (or look concerning and be perfectly healthy) — hazard assessment takes trained eyes. When in doubt, get a professional to look in person, especially near your house, driveway, or where people spend time.

Warning Signs

What to look for, any time.

💀 Dead limbs

No leaves in season while the rest of the tree leafs out normally — a classic early sign of decline.

📐 A new or worsening lean

Especially with soil lifting or cracking on the opposite side — that's the root system giving way, not just growth habit.

🍄 Fungus or conks

Mushroom-like growths on the trunk or exposed roots usually mean internal decay, not just surface mold.

🕳 Hollow sounds or cavities

A hollow "thock" when you knock on the trunk, or a visible cavity, can mean significant internal decay.

🪵 Bark loss or cracks

Vertical cracks or missing bark exposing bare wood — entry points for decay and pests.

⛈ Storm damage

Split branches, exposed wood, or a cracked main leader after a storm — even if the tree "looks fine" otherwise.

🐛 Pest activity

Small holes in a pattern, sawdust-like material at the base, or thinning canopy can signal a borer infestation.

🌱 Girdling roots

Roots visibly circling the trunk at the base can slowly strangle the tree over years.
