Inspect Your Trees:<\/strong> Storm damage can often go unnoticed until signs of distress become visible, so it\u2019s important to regularly inspect your trees for storm damage. Look for broken branches, torn bark and uprooted roots. If you notice any of these signs, contact a tree service right away to assess the extent of the storm damage and develop an appropriate treatment plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Prune Branches:<\/strong> Pruning storm-damaged trees is essential in order to prevent further harm from occurring. Be sure to prune away any hanging or broken branches that may be hazardous if they fall off during another storm. Pruning should also be done when storm damaged trees are diseased or structurally unsound, as this will help protect the tree from further damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Support Uprooted Trees:<\/strong> If storm winds cause a tree to be uprooted, support the tree with stakes or cables to keep it upright and reduce additional stress. If the tree is mostly intact but leaning over, mullein can be used to restore its original shape. In some cases, storm-damaged trees may need more intensive treatment and should be assessed by a professional tree service for possible removal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Provide Care: <\/strong>Once storm damage has been addressed, your storm damaged trees will require extra care in order to survive. Deep watering during periods of drought can help prevent weakened roots from drying out completely and dying off altogether. Mulching around the base of your storm-damaged trees can also help retain moisture and reduce weeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\">Be Prepared For Storm Seasons in Indiana<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When storm season arrives each year, it\u2019s important to take steps to protect your trees from storm-related damage.
