Hollow trees can be deceiving. This oak still has a full canopy, but extensive trunk cavities like these can indicate significant internal decay and structural weakness.
⚠️ Signs a tree may need removal:
• Large hollow sections or cavities in the trunk
• Visible decay or rotting wood
• Cracks, splits, or weak branch attachments
• Leaning or shifting root systems
• Dead or declining canopy growth
A tree doesn’t have to be completely dead to become a hazard. Regular inspections can help identify risks before failure occurs and protect people, property, and nearby structures.
