MN Remove or Restore Storm Damaged Trees
It’s that time of year again and if you live in Minnesota, winter and
snow go hand-in-hand. With the blizzards we get here every season, we
are no strangers to heavy snowfall. While snow might appear light and
fluffy, heavy snow or ice can weigh down limbs, adding stress to the
structure of trees and shrubs when it accumulates. When tree branches can no longer sustain the added weight, they may crack or break.
If a tree is healthy overall and still possesses its leader (the main upward branch), most of its major limbs and 50 percent or more of its crown, the chance is good for a complete recovery.
Preventative measures taken long before a storm hits helps trees grow stronger and become more resistant to damage.
When dealing with snow-damaged trees, susceptible trees can be trimmed and/or pruned to minimize the incidence of damage from strong winds and snow loads when the next storm strikes. Tree removal can be avoided in some cases, particularly if it is determined that there is a safe and reasonable alternative available that will allow you to keep your beloved tree.
A Licensed Arborist can also install cables and braces
to increase a tree’s tolerance to ice accumulation in situations where
individual trees must be stabilized to prevent their failure.
While it is impossible to prevent all storm related damage, contact a Tree Care Service that has a Certified Arborist on staff for more tips on how to make your trees as storm-proof as possible.
Winter Tree Damage From Heavy Snow or Ice

Hopefully, the tree’s branches, or the tree itself is not hanging over your car or house when it falls. Major storm damage during the winter from fallen trees costs homeowners millions of dollars each year. However, damage can be prevented with the proper tree care and trimming.Time Is On Your Side!
In the aftermath of a severe snow, ice or wind storm, the first impulse may be to simply cut the tree down and be done with it. In such cases, it may be best to stand back for a while and think it over. Making a hasty decision can often result in removing trees that can be saved. Remember that time is on your side. After careful pruning of broken branches, give the tree some time to recover. A final decision can be made later.If a tree is healthy overall and still possesses its leader (the main upward branch), most of its major limbs and 50 percent or more of its crown, the chance is good for a complete recovery.
