tree failure

Tree failure occurs when a tree or its parts, such as branches or the trunk, break or fall due to structural weakness or external forces. Factors include disease, decay, poor planting, or environmental stresses like high winds and heavy snow. When a tree or part of it can no longer withstand these stresses, it may collapse, posing safety hazards and potential damage. Regular inspection and maintenance help identify weaknesses early, reducing the risk of unexpected failure.
