Real Time Stories
A weather event - like the 3rd Nor'Easter in 2 weeks - is worth writing about for a landscape designer. Damage to plantings can be devastating to backyard landscape design when trees and shrubs are subjected to an abundance of heavy snow and sustained wind. Repeat storms put stress on budding ornamental plants. I collaborated with the founder to write up the information to assess damage, put the blog together and posted it within 12 hours of the last snowflake in order to maximize search on social media with hashtags of the storm name.
Nor’easter Damage to Ornamental Trees and Shrubs
We have experienced three Nor’easters in the first two weeks of March and many properties have nor’easter damage to trees and shrubs from heavy snow and wind. Damage may be as simple as a Boxwood or Forsythia bent over from the heavy snow or as severe as total destruction to prized ornamental trees or shrubs.
What are the steps necessary to assess the damage? All of these options should be discussed with a landscape or tree professional.
