Warning Signs
Right now is a good time to inspect trees for structural hazards, since the trees are bare and the whole structure can be viewed. Some of the warning signs to look for:
- Wire in contact with tree branches. Trees may become energized when they are in contact with electric or telephone wires.
- Cracked stems and branch forks.
- Broken limbs and tree tops that may be hanging, or lodged in the tree.
- Hollow or decayed areas on the trunk or main limbs, or mushrooms growing from the bark.
- Peeling bark or gaping wounds in the trunk.
- Fallen or uprooted trees putting pressure on other trees beneath them.
