The thickness of firm wood is less than one inch for every six inches of diameter.

Cracks

A crack is a profound rip through the bark, expanding into the tree. Cracks are an apparent suggestion that a tree is not healthy and it might fall down.

Things to look for if a crack is detected and tree needs to be removed

Two or more cracks

If a crack is detected on an extremity and it is not affecting more than a third of the tree then trimming is the preeminent alternative.

Root problems

This is one of the most dangerous problems because a tree can fall easily with a minor wind storm or the weight of the tree leaves.  Paving over roots, parking, driving cars over the roots can cause severe root problems.
