After a severe storm, many homeowners wonder “what to do about storm damaged trees?” Trees have an amazing ability to recover from storm damage. Hasty decisions can often result in removing trees that could have been saved.
The remaining limbs will grow more vigorously as the tree tries to replace its missing foliage. Look to see if branches are in places that can eventually fill out the tree’s appearance
Some trees simply can’t be saved or are not worth saving. If the tree is already weakened, if the trunk is split, or if more than 50 percent of the crown is gone, the tree has lost its survival edge. If you find yourself in a situation like this, read one of our other articles, “Best Root Killer for Trees.”

Thanks for sharing useful information. To keep your landscape well maintained you can use lawn Mowers, Chain saws, Trimmers, Blowers etc.
I like that you mention how a tree with at least 50% of its branches and leaves can continue to survive whereas a tree that's lost more than 50% won't be able to. It makes sense that a tree that loses too many leaves and branches won't be able to absorb enough sunlight to continue to live. Thanks for the post; I have a tree that's lost a lot of branches and having a professional come out to inspect it could be helpful to ensure it's removed properly or maintained correctly to continue to survive.
It was really helpful when you said that in order to know whether or not the tree will survive after the storm, it's best to check whether at least fifty percent of its leaves and branches were still intact. Actually, the tree in the yard seems to have more than just fifty percent of its crown still intact, so I have a good feeling that it will survive. I just think that it will not be able to do it on its own, so I need to hire a professional to help it regenerate. Thank you for sharing. http://affordabletreecareslc.com/storm-damage/
