Danger Tree

edit

A danger tree is a tree which is not structurally sound and would pose a danger to the surrounding area if it were to fall, partially or completely. These trees can have visible defects, such as cracks, aging, or eroded soil near the roots, or invisible defects, such as internal rot or insect damage. A falling tree can damage a structure, block a road, or fall directly onto a pedestrian. For these reasons, many people will remove danger trees before they have the chance to cause damage.[1]
