In this Cheatham County Exchange article, Stephen McLaren from Davey's Southeast Nashville office says winter damage can weaken trees and why spring is a good time to catch issues.

A large, curved tree branch surrounded by green leaves.After a tough winter like the one Nashville experienced this year, now is a good time to take a close look at the trees on your property.

Winter storms can weaken trees in ways that aren’t always immediately visible to the untrained eye, but catching issues early can help to prevent property damage and give your yard the right start as spring rolls around.

Spring is a particularly important time to make sure home trees are strong because storms, heavy wind, and even tornadoes can roll through Middle Tennessee this time of year, placing considerable stress on trees. While storms may be unpredictable, the health of your trees plays a key role in how well they can withstand the weather.
