Ice Storm Response Helping Landscape Trees Recover From Ice Storms
This factsheet includes information on the cautions, evaluations, assessments and how to hire an arborist for helping landscape trees recover from ice storm damage.
A coating of ice can add significant weight to individual trees. Stems and branches break, and some trees completely bend over. The entire tree may fail if the ground is soft or root systems are defective. Hardwoods and conifers of all ages can be affected. Ice storms kill some trees, but many damaged trees can survive. Some things can be done to help damaged trees recover.
