Tree risk assessment is the process of evaluating the potential for tree failure resulting in property or personal damage. Risk assessment of hazardous trees enhances public safety, and tree worker safety, and promotes tree longevity.

Most tree failures are due to structural defects like poor branch taper, lack of reactionary wood, codominant stems with included bark, and decay due to poor compartmentalization. Tree failure and potential risk can be caused by natural causes or poor tree care techniques. Always use a qualified arborist to care for your tree needs. There are many mitigation options available.
