What Is a Hazardous Tree?

A hazardous tree is a tree with structural defects, disease, decay, or root damage that makes it unstable and capable of falling and damaging people, homes, vehicles, and other structures.

Common signs of a hazardous tree include:

Trees with severe decay, compromised roots, or a noticeable lean are most likely to fall, especially during storms or strong winds. Not all hazards are obvious, which is why a professional evaluation done by an ISA Certified Arborist is important. They are able to identify both visible and underlying issues that may not be apparent to the untrained eye.

When Should a Tree Be Taken Down? When Hazardous Tree Removal Is Recommended

A tree should be removed when it shows structural instability, severe decay, uprooting roots, or poses a risk to nearby homes, vehicles, and other structures..

Common signs a tree needs to be taken down include:

Uprooting roots or lifting soil around the base of the tree

Hollow or rotting trunks, fungal growth, or peeling bark

Leaning trees that have shifted after storms or heavy rain

Trees with extensive disease, decay, or structural damage

Trees growing too close to a house with large overhanging limbs

Large dead or hanging branches in the canopy

Trees showing these warning signs are often most likely to fall, especially during storms or strong winds. In some areas, local permits may be required before cutting down large or protected trees.Having an ISA Certified Arborist assess your trees provides peace of mind and ensures informed decision-making. In many cases, corrective pruning or maintenance can mitigate risk and preserve the tree. When removal is necessary, it is recommended based on safety, not guesswork.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to determine if a tree is hazardous?

A tree is hazardous when it possesses a structural defect and is within striking distance of a “target” such as a person, home, or vehicle. You determine this by checking for dead branches, deep cracks in the trunk, and fungal growth at the base which indicates internal rot.

Removal is necessary when more than 50% of the tree is damaged or diseased because it rarely recovers its structural integrity beyond that point. You should also remove it if the main trunk is hollowed out by more than one-third or if its roots are causing foundation damage.

A hazardous tree is defined by the combination of a physical flaw and a potential target. A rotten tree in the middle of a remote forest is not a hazard, but a rotten tree next to a public sidewalk is a high-priority risk.

A dead tree eventually loses its structural strength and will fall during high winds or heavy rain. Beyond the physical risk, it becomes a major attractant for wood-boring pests like termites and carpenter ants which may eventually migrate to your home.

Worry when you see a sudden change in the tree’s lean or if you notice large cavities forming in the main stem. If the leaves on only one side of the tree turn brown or fall off prematurely it often indicates a serious root or vascular problem.

A hollow tree often has visible cavities or “bleeding” sap from the trunk and may sound empty when struck with a mallet. Rot is often signaled by the presence of mushrooms at the base or bark that peels away easily to reveal soft damp wood underneath.

You should consider removal if the tree has large dead branches in the upper canopy that cannot be safely pruned or if it has “included bark” where two stems grow into each other. If the tree is a non-native invasive species that is also leaning it is often better to replace it.
