Some trees give off warning signs before they become a real problem. If you see a crack running down the trunk, that’s not just cosmetic. That’s a tree getting ready to split. If it looks dead or hollow, it probably is, and that means it could come down without much warning.
If your tree is leaning all of a sudden, the roots might be letting go. Mushrooms or fungi growing around the base usually mean there’s rot working its way up from the inside. These aren’t just bad signs for the tree—they’re a risk to everything around it. If you’re seeing any of this, don’t wait. Get it checked before it turns into an emergency.
