You bet it is…heavy snow in Northern Nevada will hit
periodically this winter. How does it
affect the trees and shrubs on your property?
The frequency and severity of winter damage is determined by a number of
factors, including the plant species or the location and conditions under which
the plant is grown, and when there are weather extremes during the dormant
period.
The branches of many hardwoods may be seriously damaged in
ice storms. Improper removal of ice or
snow from the tree or shrub might increase damage. Heavy snow should be removed gently before it
freezes to limbs and branches. Removing
ice encased on branches can cause additional damage and should not be attempted!
Those of us at The Tree Professionals here in Reno want you
to wake up after each heavy snow this winter without trepidation that your
beautiful and valuable property is intact.
When, and if you need us during the long winter ahead we are always just
a phone call away. We are The Tree
