A storm is a very fierce natural phenomenon that makes everyone panic and find their way to safety. How about the trees that are exposed to the danger of the storm? How will they protect themselves? Only humans can help these trees preserve their life whenever there is a storm coming and you can apply these to the trees found in your backyard or front yard.
There are certain trees that are more resilient or weather-proof just like when it exposed to storms. If you want to protect trees, you can at least plant resilient trees such as ginkgos, live oak or sweetgum trees. As much as possible, try to avoid planting trees like dogwoods, brittle birches and beeches because of their vulnerability making them prone to damages when there are storms.
If you already identified the right tree to plant, make sure that you always prune the trees because this will help them become more durable. Once a tree grows, constant monitoring should be done by removing oversize branches or those that already show weakness and may anytime fall to the ground.
Don’t forget to fertilize your trees because the roots become stronger when there are more nutrients to be absorbed. But you can also seek for external source of support by bracing the trees especially those that are already leaning and might fall anytime.
Consulting an arborist can give you more advantage and knowledge in growing and protecting your tree. These arborists very well know the nature of trees so they can always guide you on day 1 up until it reaches its highest peak of like but they don’t do bracing for trees. If ever you need some bracing services, there are professional tree service providers that can give you the best brace for your trees.
