This is a fairly drastic procedure. Most people would never even know the tree has been worked on. That is Arboriculture at its finest...

4' Reduction on left canopy and crown, deadwood removal, and the removal of three 6" scaffold limbs. The tree is hollow and standing on a 3" sapwood shell, and there is a 2' opening where the right leader has rotted away.

Last chance to save your maples tons of energy by trimming them now. Leaves may not be visible on your trees for a couple months yet, but as you can see in this picture from tonight, the trees are producing buds right now.

Trimming now means the tree uses less energy and nutrients on a limb that is going to be cut anyway. It is also incredibly easy to see the structure of deciduous trees now, allowing homeowners to see what we arborists see much easier.

The best thing that can be said about ice and trees is to stay away from them. They will continue to fail even after the ice has melted, this is actually the time when most injuries occur.

Depending on the species and its stored energy reserves, most trees can recover just fine from a 25% loss of green mass. Some trees can recover from far worse, again, it just depends on the tree.

Wait before removing limbs or trees that are bent over like the one in the picture, if the are not fractured, they will spring back when the ice melts.

Rehabilitating Storm Damaged Trees Is Very Difficult, even for "tree guys", some arborists have trouble grasping the concept as well... Check the rest of the page for some pointers on tree trimming.
