How long can I leave the storm broke the top out of my tree before it becomes dangerous?
Answered for Martinsville, Morgan County (county seat) County.
Two separate problems arrived at once. The immediate one is unsupported mass suspended in the air — hung limbs and cracked-but-attached wood have no predictable timing and come down with no wind at all. The longer one is that a torn top is a wound the tree cannot close, dropping a decay column straight down the center of the stem and leaving no leader to rebuild from. Whether this tree has a future is a question for next month. Whether anyone should be standing under it is a question for right now. In Martinsville — Northside Historic District, East Washington Street Historic District and Colonial Hills included, that's normally a storm damage cleanup job at $400–$4,000. Call tonight.
Why this comes up in Martinsville
Duke Energy Indiana per the IURC's service-territory GIS, covering the city and the countryside to the south and east. Northwest of town the boundary flips to South Central Indiana REMC — which is itself headquartered in Martinsville and listed as a community resource in the city's comprehensive plan. Under 170 IAC 4-9 Duke must give two weeks' notice and obtain consent before removing more than 25 percent of a tree or topping it.
Martinsville's canopy
Genuinely over-mature in the old grid: the Northside Historic District developed circa 1850–1935 and the East Washington Street district circa 1869–1940, so those blocks carry trees well over a century old on shallow-setback lots where the crown sits directly above the roof and the sidewalk. The newer neighborhoods the comprehensive plan maps — Eagle Crest Estates, Southern Acres, Country View — are the opposite extreme, open ground with young stock. (Age is inferred from district survey dates; a species inventory was not available.)

Morgan County (county seat) County rules
No municipal tree-removal permit for private property could be located. Martinsville holds its own zoning jurisdiction (the Morgan County Unified Development Ordinance expressly excludes it), but the city's code is not published on the major code libraries, and neither the comprehensive plan nor the county ordinance imposes any permit to remove a tree in your own yard. What is regulated is development-stage landscaping and work in the city right-of-way. Homeowners should confirm right-of-way work with the city Planning Department before cutting, since the ordinance text could not be independently verified.
