Brrrrrrrr! The 2022 Farmer's Almanac comes with a chilly prediction or warning..... "Prepare for a season of shivers" this winter brings frigid and frosty below-average temperatures across most of the United States and here in Kansas City this prediction deems to be true (so far)!
One day, not so long ago in Kansas City, it was very cold; winter was coming. And all the birds flew away to the warm south, to wait for the spring. The official first day of winter is December 21st, but you shouldn't wait until then to have your trees inspected for potential winter time risks! Remember last year? We had a few snowy/icy events that left people scrambling with tree damage. This year, we've received a lot of questions about trimming - or even - removing trees to prevent the potential risk.
What do you do when your trees have been weighed down by recent snowfall? How are you going to properly take care of your storm damaged trees while minimizing any chance for further damage to the tree or yourself? Articles can be found all over the web about the appropriate methods.
Long-term management of pruning can ensure your trees continue to provide the aesthetic value and function they intended. Proper, conscientious pruning can enhance the beauty and function of your trees in Kansas City, while reducing the potential for loss of limbs or other failures during winter storms.
