For someone who is new to owning a house and is therefore paranoid about any of the trees surrounding my house falling on it, what are some signs that a tree is in danger of falling some time soon? All the trees surrounding my house seem to be pretty healthy but then again, I don't really know what I'm talking about. Any lesser known clues I should be looking out for?

That’s really what I was concerned about. From what I’ve heard some signs are rot, trees that have multiple leaders (when a tree splits. Another Redditor arborist called it codominent leaders”); and maybe excessive leaning? A lot of the trees though that feel around here looked to be healthy pines. So I dunno.
