You’re probably familiar with these words of wisdom:
- “The tree that does not bend will surely break.”
- “The virtue of the superior man is wind; the virtue of the small person is grass. When wind passes over it, the grass is sure to bend.”
In other words, “The tree that works with the wind can live to see another day.”
Working With the Wind Means Getting a Trim
Simply put, trees need to allow wind to pass through them in order to survive strong winds intact. A tree that blocks too much wind can lose branches or even suffer a break to the trunk when the winds get strong. If a tree is too dense or thick to let a breeze go through it, then strong storm winds will cause limbs and branches to snap off.
Thinning a tree can prevent limbs from snapping and falling off in high winds. So, keeping your trees trimmed can be the secret to their survival.
Work With Cincinnati Tree Trimming Specialists
Our tree service professionals here at Tree Images can inspect your trees and determine whether or not the current state of your tree’s growth is too dense to allow for air to flow through. Careful, well-considered tree pruning can not only enable air to pass, but it can make the tree healthier, more balanced, more aesthetically pleasing, more hospitable for nesting or feeding birds, and less susceptible to certain types of mold, fungus, and infections. Your tree would thank you for the trim, if it could, and that’s how you can think of those breezes sighing and whistling through your trees as you fall asleep at night.
Contact us today for a free estimate, and we can make sure your trees are prepared for those mighty winter winds or summer storms. A trimmed, pruned tree can withstand some intense storms – tornadoes, even – while a tightly clustered, overgrown tree can create a hazard in such situations. Make sure your tree is one that can work with the wind rather than fight it. Call in a trusted tree pruning service near you for expert advice.
