Extreme weather in Kansas City is not uncommon. Ice, snow, wind, and rain mixed in with a few tornadoes here and there are a normal part of life. However, as a homeowner or business owner you may want to know how to protect your investment from fallen trees during these extreme weather patterns.

Trees like oak, gingko, and and sweetgum tend to be much more resistant to harsh weather patterns than the more brittle varieties of birch, beech, and dogwood.
What really makes the most difference in a tree's sturdiness during rough weather patterns is tree maintenance. Quality tree maintenance begins before the tree is planted into the ground. Check your area's hardiness zone to ensure that the plants you purchase will adapt well to the soil and weather patterns. Regular pruning and fertilization also become an important task in ensuring your trees remain healthy.
