Excerpt from How to Recognize Hazardous Defects in Trees Trees add to our enjoyment of outdoor experiences whether in forests, parks, or urban landscapes. Too often, we are unaware of the risks associated with defective trees, which can cause personal injury and property damage. Interest in hazard tree management has increased in recent years due to safety and liability concerns resulting from preventable accidents. Recognizing hazardous trees and taking proper corrective actions can protect property and save lives. A hazard tree is a tree with structural defects likely to cause failure of all or part of the tree, which could strike a target. A target can be a vehicle, building, or a place where people gather such as a park bench, picnic table, street, or backyard. This brochure was created to help home owners and land managers in recognizing hazardous defects in trees and to suggest possible corrective actions. We recommend that corrective actions be undertaken by professional arborists. Because of the natural variability of trees, the severity of their defects, and the different sites upon which they grow, evaluating trees for hazardous defects can be a complex process. This publication presents guidelines, not absolute rules for recognizing and correcting hazardous defects. When in doubt, consult an arborist.

Trees add to our enjoyment of outdoor experiences whether they're growing in forests, parks, or urban landscapes. Too often, we are unaware of the risks associated with defective trees, which can injure people and damage property. There has been more interest in tree risk management in recent years because of safety and liability concerns that result from preventable accidents. Recognizing hazardous trees and taking proper corrective actions can protect property and save lives. A tree is considered hazardous when it has "structural defects likely to cause failure of all or part of the tree, which could strike a 'target' and cause an unacceptable degree of injury or damage." A target can be a vehicle, building, or a place where people gather such as a park bench, picnic table, street, or backyard.

Excerpt from Tree Defects: A Photo Guide 11. This large old stub on a paper birch was pinched off The decay-ed wood is strongly walled off within the old internal branch wood. The decay did not spread outward into the healthy wood.14. Two major leaders died on this yellow birch, and the third leader grew to be the main stem. Note how neatly the leaders are walled off from each other. The decayed socket in stub A was essential for effective shedding. A similar socket of decayed wood is in stub B. The upward extension of discolored wood associated with stub A indicates that the trunk was injured when stub A fell away from the trunk.
