It's a fair question, and one without a simple answer, since not every unusual-looking tree is actually dangerous.
Potential warning signs
- A newly developed or worsening lean
- Split or cracked branches
- Large dead sections in the crown
- Significant decay or hollowing
- Broken or hanging limbs
- Root disturbance or soil movement nearby
- Fungal growth at the base
- Sudden changes following a storm
When in doubt, get it checked
If something about a tree has noticeably changed, having it professionally inspected is far more useful than guessing - and far safer than ignoring it.
