🌨️ Snow & Ice Can Be Tough on Your Trees! ❄️

Winter weather isn’t just a challenge for roads and sidewalks—it can take a toll on your trees too! 🌳 If you’re dealing with snow buildup, here are two key things to watch for:

🪵 Over-Extended & Heavy-Laden Branches
Douglas Firs and other conifers with limbs stretching beyond the main canopy are at higher risk of breaking under heavy snow. Lower branches on large trees can also become weighed down and vulnerable to snapping—especially near driveways, roofs, or walkways.

🌿 Hedges & Fragile Trees at Risk
Evergreen magnolias and emerald cedars often suffer damage from snow accumulation. Keep an eye out for snapped branches in magnolia trees and significant snow build up emerald cedar and other hedges. Bent over hedges can be corrected by tying them back or selectively pruning them. Ideally we prune trees prior to the snow season to remove branches at risk and reduce the surface area for snow to accumulate on.

⚠️ Stay Safe!
If you’re concerned about heavy snow on your trees, assess the risk but avoid attempting DIY snow removal—some branches may already be compromised. Our certified arborists can help with proactive pruning or post-storm care to keep your trees safe and healthy.
