A tree failure occurs when a tree or large part of a tree breaks and falls. Trees become a potential hazard when there is a target. A target is a structure, vehicle or a person that would be struck by a falling tree or its parts. The target directly influences the degree of hazard.
If enough of the root system is destroyed or detached, the tree will die. As a general rule, 20% of the root system can be destroyed before the tree will show signs of injury. If 40% of the root system is lost, the tree will probably die. It should also be removed because it is hazardous.
As defined in the tree care industry, a "Hazard Tree" is a tree that poses a level of risk to people or property that exceeds the risk tolerance of the property owner or manger. This means that a tree that may be considered a hazard to one property owner may not be considered to be a hazard by another property owner.
A tree with a risk of failure and resulting damage to people or property that exceeds the risk tolerance of the responsible manager. Tree failure.
It is easiest to measure with a flexible tape measure, but a string can be used to mark the circumference and then measured with a ruler or rigid measuring tape. Wrap the tape measure around the girth of the tree, trying to keep the tape 90 degrees to the natural lean of the tree.

Tree hazards include dead or dying trees, dead parts of live trees, or unstable live trees (due to structural defects or other factors) that are within striking distance of people or property (a target). Hazard trees have the potential to cause property damage, personal injury or fatality in the event of a failure.
Examine all parts of the tree, including the roots, root or trunk flare, main stem and bark, the overall canopy, and individual branches....Look for these signs of bark damage that could indicate a dangerous tree: bark cracks. areas of missing bark. areas of bark that look soft, sunken, swollen, or wet.
Trees need to be pruned in a specific way to maintain their strength. They should be pruned evenly so that they have good wind resistance on all sides. In most species, you should also take out branches that have grown up like extra trunks. It's best to have one main trunk, which is a much stronger configuration.
A healthy tree should put on new growth every year, getting bigger in both trunk and branch size. Have a look at the branch tips on the crown of the tree. If you spot lots of small dead twigs at the end of the branches or whole branches dying off, then that's a big indicator that the tree is stressed.
A tree evaluation involves inspecting the tree biomechanics, the shape, and branch structures to evaluate the risk of failure. This is where the training and education a certified arborist receives is critical.
