Western Tree Failure Database/California Tree Failure Report Program

50 or more

There are 50 or more reports for the following species as of January 17, 2024.


Report numbers for species do not provide an assessment of the frequency of failure for the species (i.e., how often a species fails relative to its occurrence in a population of trees). Rather, it is likely the data reflect the relative abundance of a species in the areas from which reports are being received. See CTFRP Statistics/Origin of Reports. Also, see Failure Photos for examples of root, trunk and branch failures of the 50 or more group.
