The latest reported case happened yesterday when falling trees narrowly missed Melaka Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh’s convoy at Jalan Pinang. No one was injured but the lead car and five motorcycles were damaged. This is especially difficult for big trees with short or unhealthy roots because there’s nothing stable or firm for the roots to hold onto and hold the tree upright.A tree can become top-heavy due to a surge of sap or fluid that had been drawn up into the leaf canopy. Due to the weight imbalance, heavy winds can cause the tree to topple.
