• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the ground, causing the trees crown to come down or angle strongly while the lower section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree break below the ground, resulting in the tree pitching or swinging significantly.
• Branch Failures – is where several branches of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays up. This occurs most frequently on trees with very unbalanced crowns. The complete crown effectively transforms into a weathervane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk can not.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now.
