Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) January 09, 2014
As winter roars through Philadelphia, homeowner need to be aware that snow, ice and high winds can cause serious damage to trees. Giroud Tree and Lawn provides tree service tips including hazardous tree removal, homeowners can use to protect trees and property from damage when winter storms strike.
Winter can be treacherous for trees. says Lou Giroud, President, Giroud Tree and Lawn and ISA Certified Arborist. Based on decades of winter storm experience, the trees most likely to be damaged in a storm are evergreens such as White Pines and Arborvitae as well as trees that have not been recently inspected or maintained.
Homeowners can take the following steps to protect trees this winter. 1. Hazard Inspection: Have an ISA Certified Arborist do a root to crown inspection to identify hazards such as cracks, weak limbs, deadwood or unsafe root systems. 2. Tree Removal: Dead trees are a hazard and must be removed. Winter is an especially good time for removals since the ground is hard and there is less risk of damaging understory plants and lawns. 3. Winter Pruning: Two types of pruning are most critical in the winter: deadwood removal and reducing wind resistance. Selectively thinning branches helps the wind to move more easily through the tree and prevents uprooting. However, never thin more than 25% of a trees crown at one time. Additionally, dead branches should also be removed since those are the first to break in a storm. 4. Tree Cabling to prevent splitting: Trees with multiple trunks or weakly attached limbs are prime targets for splitting. To successfully secure a tree, use a tree service professional with the knowledge required to select the best cable system for each trees specific situation and install it at the right tension and location in the tree. 5. Shake Ice and Snow off shrubs and small trees: Use a long pole or rake to gently lift branches and dislodge snow or ice. The heavy weight can cause trees and shrubs to break or split. Bradford Pears, Birches, White Pines and Arbor Vitae are most at risk.
Finally, professional certification and the tree industrys seasonal slowdown are two key factors in purchasing tree service in winter, says Mr. Giroud. Heres what homeowner should consider: 1. Is the tree service representative an ISA Certified Arborist. The ISA, International Society of Arboriculture, is the professional association of the tree care industry. 2. Tree service companies are traditionally slower in the winter and as a result pricing is often at its most competitive level.
Together, both factors make a winning combination for homeowners and trees, concludes Mr. Giroud.

As part of a planned overhaul to the North Common in Mansfield, a 30-foot maple and some pine trees were recently chopped down to make way for improvements to the park.
We have a master plan for that area, Highway Department of Public Works Director Lee Azinheira said.
The trees came down in mid-December after a public hearing held Nov. 5, inviting residents to voice their concerns about the tree removal.
Azinheria said the project was done in accordance with the states Shade Public Tree Act.
If we take down a (public) tree and there are people who take exception, we then bring it to the selectmen, he said.
A few people attended the Nov. 5 meeting, and their concerns were answered, Azinheira said.
We did need to remove the trees but will be adding more trees, he said. We will be strategically adding trees later this year.
One reason the trees came down was because the Mansfield Electric Department is adding a new underground duct that would have run across one of the trees, Azinheira said.
Updated walkways and the installation of a new 80-foot flagpole also contributed to tree removal.
Azinheira said the American flag, which used to fly atop the previous flagpole, suddenly snapped off. The pole itself was rusty and to repair the flagpole and re-hang the flag would have required a crane to weld things back together.

A public information session is set Saturday morning to discuss the planned removal of 15 large trees along the entrance drive to Longshore Club Park, a project put on hold late last month by First Selectman Jim Marpe.
Marpe had requested a delay in cutting down the trees -- 11 Tulip Poplars and 4 Norway Maples -- so that a written report on the plan by the town's tree warden, Bruce Lindsay, could be completed and submitted to him for review.
The tree-removal plan was criticized by some members of the public when the designated trees were posted prior to being cut down shortly before Christmas. That prompted Marpe to step in and ask for a detailed report before moving ahead.
Now that the report is finished and Lindsay has documented his case for removing the trees, Marpe has set a public meeting -- and tour of the trees in question -- for 9 a.m. Saturday at Longshore.
Lindsay, in his summary, said the "trees in question at Longshore Club Park are in extremely poor health and decline, are of poor species and have unlimited potential targets in a fall or limb break situation."
He said the park is used by many pedestrians and golfers. "The entrance is a roadway to numerous public facilities and homes," he added. "In my finding, these trees represent a hazardous condition for the entry into Longshore Club Park and therefore must be removed to allow safe passage for the beneficial use of the park."
He said that, as tree warden for the town, it's his primary duty to "see that all town-owned roads and grounds allow safe passage."
"Each tree that goes under my scrutiny is assessed as to the potential target it may encounter from branch breakage to dead falls and the potential liability that may be incurred by the town."

CHICO, Calif. -
Chico is known as the city of trees. The citys tree-lined streets add to the citys beauty and charm. But the removal of some of Chicos oldest trees, has some residents concerned. Charles Withuhn is the head of a group called Chico Tree Advocates, which currently has about 40 members.
They're an energy-saving factor, said Withuhn. They're beautiful," said Withuhn about Chico's historic trees.
Withuhn has organized the grass-roots effort to keep as many of Chico's trees off the city's chopping block as possible.
"Our urban forest is a gift from our fathers fathers," said Withuhn. "We will be remembered for taking care of this rare and precious gift."
Despite efforts by Withuhn and other tree advocates, six huge, leafy walnut trees at Third and Chestnut Streets were chopped down to make room for sidewalks. According to certified arborist Dan Gibson, at least three of them could have been saved.
"I thought they were in good enough health and structural stability that they could have been saved," said Gibson.
Gibson said the cost to save the three trees would have been about $50,000. Instead, he said, each tree was sold by the city for a small sum.
The death of a Chico State student from a falling tree limb is a reminder that in some cases, safety requires some trees be removed.
But what about the towering valley oak tree at West Eighth and Salem streets? Its slated to be removed to make room for a Chico State construction-management project.

Jesse Wald, 7, looks up at the hackberry tree on High Street in Urbana January 3, 2014. He and his father, Stephen Wald, noticed it was marked by the city to be removed after rot was discovered in its upper limbs. The elder Wald is now leading an effort to save the tree, which he believes could be the city's biggest.

URBANA The days could be numbered for what might be Urbana's biggest tree.
A giant, 100-plus-foot hackberry tree near the corner of High and Coler streets has been marked for removal, but a group of residents are hoping they might be able to encourage the city to find another way to secure the rotting tree instead of cutting the whole thing down.
"We call it the biggest tree in the world," said resident Stephen Wald, who was on the phone with the city arborist within 15 minutes of spotting a white dot near the base of the tree while riding his bicycle past it with his 7-year-old son, Jesse.
Well, it's not the biggest in the world but it's a contender for the biggest in the city. With a trunk diameter of 60 inches, canopy between about 78 and 99 feet and a height over 100 feet, local tree experts would have trouble producing a more massive specimen, Wald said.
"It's our General Sherman tree," Wald said.
Some of its limbs, however, have started to rot, including one that hangs ominously over the nearest home at 312 S. Coler Ave. And on a tree this big, limbs can be, well, as big as a tree.
"It's a giant hackberry, maybe one of the biggest in the community," said city arborist Mike Brunk.
