Summer storms can bring unpredictable weather conditions, including high winds and heavy rainfall. These storms pose a significant threat to the health and safety of your trees. By taking proactive measures and preparing your trees in advance, you can minimize the risk of damage and ensure their longevity. In this blog post, we'll discuss essential steps to protect your trees from summer storms and preserve their beauty and structural integrity.
Before the storm season arrives, conduct a thorough assessment of your trees' health. Look for signs of disease, pest infestations, or structural weaknesses such as cracked branches or leaning trunks. Address any issues promptly by consulting with a professional arborist who can provide guidance and necessary treatments.
Proper pruning plays a vital role in enhancing the wind resistance of trees. Remove dead, damaged, or weak branches that can easily break during storms. Pruning helps to improve the overall structure of the tree and reduces the risk of falling limbs. Hire a certified arborist to perform pruning tasks, ensuring they follow industry best practices.
Promote good tree structure by encouraging strong branch attachments and balanced growth. This involves selective pruning during the tree's formative years to create a well-spaced and well-distributed canopy. A well-structured tree is more resistant to wind damage and less likely to experience branch failure during storms.
Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of your trees to help retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and improve overall tree health. Adequate hydration is crucial for trees to withstand storms, so ensure they receive sufficient water leading up to the storm season. Deep watering is preferable to encourage deep root growth and anchoring.
Remove or secure any loose items in your yard that could become projectiles during high winds. This includes patio furniture, garden tools, and decorations. Flying debris can cause severe damage to trees, so it's essential to keep the surrounding area clear.
If you have large or mature trees on your property, consider consulting with an arborist for a professional evaluation. They can assess the overall health and stability of your trees, provide recommendations for storm preparation, and perform necessary maintenance or bracing to strengthen vulnerable trees.
Stay informed about approaching storms and heed any warnings or advisories issued by local authorities. Monitor weather reports and be prepared to take action if necessary. If a severe storm is imminent, consider temporarily relocating vehicles or outdoor furniture away from trees to minimize potential damage.
