In this Palo Alto article, George Reno from Davey’s Menlo Park office tells homeowners how to prevent weak limbs and falling trees in the Bay Area this winter.

An upwards angle of very large, evergreen trees.The Bay Area is heading into a weak La Niña winter, which typically brings a drier-than-average season.

Weaker events, marked by milder cooling of Pacific Ocean temperatures, often produce more unpredictable weather patterns..
