Trees germinate, grow, mature, decline and eventually die. Throughout their lifespan, trees provide multiple benefits, from aesthetics to functional attributes such as shading, screening, carbon sequestration and erosion control. However, trees within the urban landscape contend with numerous stresses. As they mature, trees acquire injuries and defects that may develop into a hazardous condition. When environmental forces exceed a trees structural limits, failures and resultant accidents may occur.
