Going to a park or a natural park brings serenity and peace. Â The trees in these areas provide an area of comfort and relaxation. Â However, these trees can also pose a danger. Â A fallen branch or even an incubator for pests could pose problems for you or your surrounding area. Â So how does one go about identifying tree hazards? Â Here are some ways to recognize them:
Separation
When you are looking at trees, it’s important to identify points where there maybe cracks or splits. Â If these cracks or splits go into the branch or seem to be covering the entire part of a limb, then this would be a method for identifying tree hazards. Â Should the separation be going down the middle of a trunk, this is a critical scenario that needs your attention. Â A certified arborist would be the right person to help you identifying the tree hazards.
Dying
Over time, parts of a tree may start dying. Â To protect from hazards, knowing areas that maybe failing and removing them promptly will help protect you and your surroundings. Â If you do not address them, then they could cause a limb to fall or break off.
Disease
Trees that get diseased can be a huge problem. Â Some diseases cannot be cured but others are solvable. Â A common sign of disease is the loss of bark without any bark growing in its place. Â Another indication of disease is the existence of fungus. Â If parts of a tree have a mushroom, this could be indications that the tree is sick. Â Should you see these signals, contact a certified arborist.
Leaning
When a tree starts leaning in a dramatic fashion, this is another sign of problems.  It showcases that the tree maybe structurally failing  This is another situation where a certified arborist should be called in to evaluate the situation.
