    How far should a tree be from your house in case of storms?

    With all the storms lately, Can anybody advise how you could tell if a tree is dangerous and might fall in a storm?

    Its an 40 yr old house and garden with mature trees
    thanks

    A vague question gets a vague answer. If a tree is 15m high, then 15m would be the safe distance from the house. Any closer distance and you risk it hitting the house. Limbs would also be more likely to find the house in such a case.

    The tree should be far enough away from the house that if it falls over it doesn't fall on the house.
