What can you do to mitigate risk sometimes that stops short of removing the tree? What are some of the things, again, you want to think about in terms of why it might be a risk, either pre or post a storm event?

Sure.

So primarily it would be looking out for where the tree is structurally weak.

Now, we as humans have a massive overestimate estimation of our own abilities, and we think intervening in trees, we must do it all the time for us to be safe.

But trees are actually pretty smart in the way they grow and develop themselves.

But occasionally they do create weak limbs.

They can catch different storm patterns and create these structural weaknesses.

But what are the key questions to ask? If you're looking at something and you have a concern or you're looking to mitigate risk, what are the right things to ask?
