Snow May be Friend or Foe to Your Northern Nevada Trees.

No question about it, excess snow can damage trees and shrubs by either bending, breaking or splitting them even causing them to fall or uproot entirely. During this harsh time of year, The Tree Professional of Reno wants you to be aware of this “double-edged sword”…beauty vs. destruction!

Here is an example, coniferous evergreens, can bear more snow weight than broad leaf evergreens. A tree’s form and overall shape can also determine how well it will withstand heavy snow. For example, pine, spruce, and fir trees with spreading branches are more likely to be damaged by heavy snowfall than trees with more steeply angled branches.
