First steps — hollow incident
Stay well outside the fall radius, especially in wind. Hollow trees fail unpredictably — sometimes with almost no warning. Don't tie anything to the trunk.
What Madison Park calls typically look like
Madison Park sits in Central Seattle and is characterized by large lakeside trees and mature landscape conifers. During Puget Sound windstorms — especially November through February — saturated soils and hard south winds combine to bring down big trees. Calls like “hollow tree removal” spike in these windows.
Insurance angle
Removal of a known hollow tree is typically out-of-pocket and treated as maintenance. Some carriers require known hazard trees be removed to maintain coverage.
Ask any contractor for proof of current license and general liability insurance before work begins on your Madison Park property, and confirm coverage details with your homeowners insurance carrier. This is standard consumer guidance for any tree job.
FAQ
- How do I know if a tree is hollow inside?
- Fungal conks or mushrooms at the base, cavities where limbs failed, drum-like sound when tapped, and hollow-sounding thumps are common signs. An arborist can confirm with a resistograph.
- Is a hollow tree always dangerous?
- Not always — small cavities in otherwise sound wood can be fine. Extensive decay in the trunk of a tall tree near a target is a removal.
