Birch trees often let their tops rot off.
My small sports car suffered a rotted top dent on a day that was dead calm. Left a grapefruit sized dent in a fender.
Birch with dead tops are often referred to as 'widow makers'.
Yep....I came within a couple of minutes of begin killed by the top of a birch tree that decided to come down while I was mowing last year. I have a guy coming in to take down the rest of it as it is way beyond my paygrade to tackle. I tried getting a number of tree guys to come in last year but no one was interested.
