🌳 Do you know the warning signs that a tree on your property could be dangerous? Here are five things every Canberra homeowner should watch for.

Trees are a wonderful part of our landscape — but they can become serious hazards when they're diseased, damaged, or structurally compromised. Knowing when to call a professional arborist could save your property from serious damage and protect your family from harm.

Here are five key warning signs to look out for:

1️⃣ Dead or hanging branches — known as "widow makers," these can fall without any warning, especially during wind or after rain adds weight to them

2️⃣ Cracks or splits in the trunk or major limbs — a sign of internal structural weakness that may cause sudden failure

3️⃣ Unusual or sudden leaning — especially if a tree's lean has changed after a storm or period of heavy rain

4️⃣ Fungal growth, mushrooms, or conks at the base — often an indicator of internal decay and root damage

5️⃣ Hollow, soft, or crumbling wood — evidence that the tree's structural integrity is seriously compromised

If you've noticed any of these signs on a tree near your home, don't leave it to chance. Contact Arborista Trees for a professional assessment — we offer FREE property inspections across Canberra and surrounds.

⛈️ Canberra storm season is approaching — and the best time to protect your property is before the storms arrive.

Every year, we see the aftermath of severe Canberra storms — fallen trees on rooftops, branches through fences, blocked driveways, and emergency callouts that could have been prevented with proactive tree care earlier in the year. The reality is that most storm-related tree damage is entirely avoidable with the right preparation.

The trees most at risk during storms are those with dead limbs, heavy unbalanced canopies, crossing or rubbing branches, weakened root systems, or structural defects that may not be obvious to the untrained eye. An experienced arborist can identify these issues and address them before the wind makes the decision for you.

Here's how Arborista Trees can help you prepare this storm season:

🌿 Crown thinning to reduce wind resistance and sail effect

✂️ Removal of dead, weak, or poorly attached branches

🌳 Full structural tree health assessments

⚡ 24/7 emergency response if damage does occur despite preparation

Being proactive now is far less stressful — and far less expensive — than dealing with emergency tree removal and property repairs after the fact.
