• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the earth, making the trees crown to come down or to lean violently even though the bottom section stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree break under the earth, resulting in the tree pitching or swinging significantly.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree fall off.
