Kelowna Expert Assessment for Hazardous Trees
There are a number of causes for trees to experience a decline in health, and it’s often a combination of them that contribute to an early demise. Adverse or extreme weather conditions can weaken a tree’s vitality to a point where it is unable to naturally defend itself against other factors like pests.
If a tree is attacked by a biological factor such as a wood boring insect, it will rapidly produce sap in an attempt to block or prevent the insect from entering the tree. If the tree is in a weakened state from a harsh winter, it may not be strong enough to adequately defend itself.
Another example is when fires engulf or surround a tree, but do not reach the upper canopy, they can cinch the smaller root tips which help anchor the tree in place. The tree may then be more susceptible to failure in windy conditions.

It is important to occasionally inspect your trees for any signs of health decline, and to be proactive in applying treatments before additional problems arise. Hazardous trees are not always dead trees. Broken branches can be a safety concern, especially in urban settings where buildings, walkways or parking areas are nearby. Other hazards are not as easy to identify, and some are not visible at all.
Construction or excavation can sever or compromise roots which, as mentioned above, are responsible for anchorage. Changes in neighbouring trees may also present hazards that are not easy to identify.
If larger trees are removed nearby, your tree may be exposed to winds that it was previously shielded from. Trees will naturally build a rigidity against wind, but if they experience heavy winds from a direction or angle they have not built that rigidity to, they may not have the internal strength to resist it.
What Our Customers Say
Frequently Asked Questions
Some signs are obvious, but many are not.
Clear warning signs include large dead branches, visible cracks in the trunk, a tree that has recently started leaning, exposed or damaged roots, or sections of the canopy dying back. Trees that have been damaged by wind, heavy snow, or construction are also higher risk.
However, many structural issues develop slowly and aren’t easy to spot without experience. Weak branch attachments, internal decay, poor growth patterns, or imbalanced weight distribution can all lead to failure even when the tree still looks “healthy” from a distance.
If something about the tree doesn’t look right, or it’s positioned where failure would cause damage, it’s worth having it assessed before it becomes an emergency.
