Once there is snow, more times than not, it’s best to leave your trees alone.
After a storm, it’s smart to examine your tree to make sure there isn’t any significant damage to your tree. However, if there is ice or the tree is slippery, do not attempt to climb the tree and try to find the damage. It’s tempting, we know, but you could damage the tree, or worse, get seriously injured.
If there is snow on the limbs of your trees, do not shake the tree to remove the snow. There’s a better chance you’ll damage the tree rather than freeing it from the snow. Plus, there’s a chance that an ice chunk or branch could fall from the tree and hurt you or someone near.
