Big tree - big trouble
The casual observer would not know that there is a huge potential problem with this tree. Its nice rounded even canopy hides the fact that the huge limb on the lower right is very poorly attached to the trunk and could fall anytime. There is almost always a vehicle parked under the large defective limb. Click to the next photograph for a close-up of the weak connection.
