• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree split underneath the soil, leading to the tree bending or swaying noticeably.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays standing. This occurs most frequently on trees with extremely unbalanced crowns.
