Preventing Spring
Storm Damage
Thunderstorms can wreak
havoc with your landscape. Often
breaking limbs and trees are
uprooted.
Many times damaged trees are
removed rather than saved by cor
rective pruning. This information
adapted from the National Arbor
Day Foundation may help you and
your trees “weather the storm.”
• Think ahead when planting
trees. Don’t plant too close to
buildings or utility wires. Planting
groups will help prevent trees
from being blown over.
■ Avoid planting trees species
with brittle wood such as elms,
willows, Bradford pears (the older
varieties are particularly suscepti
ble to storm damage), poplars and
silver maples.
• Prune trees when they are
young to develop a strong branch
ing pattern.
• Annually prune dead and
weak limbs. Try to achieve a well
shaped tree that lets the wind pass
through it rather than catching it
like a sail.
• Keep trees healthy by water
ing, fertilizing, and protecting the
soil from compaction.
After the Storm
• The first step in cleaning up is
to assess the damage. Notify mun
icipal authorities if street trees are
damaged. Don’t try to remove tree
limbs from downed wires; contact
the utility company.
• Select a competent, qualified
arborist to remove or repair trees if
you will not be doing the work
yourself. In many cases, you will
require professional help; be sure
you have a clear understanding
about who will remove debris and
whether or not the price includes

stump removal.
• For appearance and to main
tain a good center of gravity, look
for limbs to remove that are oppo
site broken ones.
• Young trees (under 25’ in
height) that are partially blown
over can often be saved. Remove
soil on the uprooted side. Straight
en the tree and replace the soil.
Stake the tree and water well.
To repair tom bark, use a chisel
or a sharp knife to smooth the
edges of tom bark back to where it
is attached to the tree. Shape the
tear into an eclipse and round the
ends of the wound. Keep the
wound as narrow as you can to
speed wound closing. Pruning
paint may make you feel better but
will not help the tree.
