Unfortunately they do! I have many live trees in my garden and around on the neighbor's lots. Branches still fall, even large ones. It's caused by competition. The lower branches die off and eventually fall if the conditions are right. We had two large limbs fall from our trees in a recent wet snow event. From trees on opposite places on our lot. And I see some more up there ready to fall at some point.
Absolutely seconded. They're the first to lean onto the streets here in ice rain or wet snow and walking through the wooded areas, the species that I see most if one just snapped. And right about/above the height one might have attached a hammock.
