I had never heard this term, but my wife explained to me that "hazard trees" is the jargon arborists use to describe trees that have some sort of structural defect and are near a "target," which is jargon for something valuable that the tree might fall on. She went to Penn State, btw. :-)
Tony,
Thank you! And thank your wife as well. Hope all your assorted pets are well.
It's important too, to realize the difference between hazard trees, and "signs" of hazard trees.
