Introduction Winter can be brutal on trees — and the damage often isn’t obvious until months later. By the time summer storms hit, weakened trees can fail without warning. Here’s how to spot winter damage early and keep your property safe. βοΈ 1. Look for Frost Cracks Sudden temperature drops cause bark to expand and contract. Signs: Long vertical cracks Bark peeling Exposed wood These cracks weaken the trunk and increase failure risk. π¬οΈ 2. Check for Wind Burn Cold winter winds dry out evergreen needles. Symptoms: Brown or reddish needles Patchy discoloration Needle drop Evergreens may need pruning or hydration support. π¨οΈ 3. Identify Snow Load Damage Heavy snow bends and breaks branches. Look for: Bent limbs Split crotches Hanging branches These are dangerous during summer storms. π§ 4. Inspect for Ice Damage Ice adds weight and causes structural stress. Warning signs: Twisted branches Bark tearing Leaning trees A leaning tree is a major hazard. π± Conclusion Winter damage doesn’t fix itself — and ignoring it can lead to expensive emergency removals. A spring inspection ensures your trees are ready for the growing season. π Contact us: https://www.treesolve.ca/contact-us π Tree Removal: https://www.treesolve.ca/services/tree-removal π Stump Grinding: https://www.treesolve.ca/services/stump-grinding π Pruning: https://www.treesolve.ca/services/pruning π Tree Cabling: https://www.treesolve.ca/services/tree-cabling π EAB Injections: https://www.treesolve.ca/services/emerald-ash-borer-injections
