8 Signs a Tree May Be Unsafe and Needs Professional Assessment in East Palo Alto, CA

While trees add beauty, some can pose risks. Regularly inspecting your trees, especially after storms common in East Palo Alto, CA is crucial. Look for these warning signs that indicate a tree may need a professional assessment by a Cipres Tree Service arborist:

• Leaning Suddenly or Significantly: A noticeable, recent lean, especially towards property or people, can indicate root failure or instability.
• Large Dead Branches: Dead branches (no leaves in growing season) are weak and can fall unexpectedly. Look for these high in the canopy.
• Cracks or Splits in the Trunk or Major Limbs: Deep vertical cracks, especially those extending through the trunk, compromise structural integrity.
• Decay or Cavities: Visible rotting wood, hollow areas, or fungal growth (mushrooms) on the trunk or major roots often signify internal decay and weakness.
• Root Zone Disturbance: Recent construction, trenching, or soil compaction near a tree's base can damage critical roots, leading to instability or decline later.
• Heaving Soil or Exposed Roots: Soil lifting around the base of the tree, especially on the side opposite a lean, can indicate potential uprooting.
• Sudden Leaf Drop or Discoloration (Out of Season): This can signal stress, disease, or root problems affecting the tree's health and stability.
• Proximity to Targets: Even a moderately risky tree becomes a higher priority if it could fall on homes, power lines, driveways, or play areas in your East Palo Alto, CA yard.If you observe any of these signs, don't wait. Contact Cipres Tree Service in East Palo Alto, CA for a professional assessment by an ISA Certified Arborist to determine the actual risk and appropriate action.
