mattie g Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I'm becoming more and more worried about my back yard. The initial tree line buffer (80-100ft oaks) have only 25-50% leaves, but my big 140' oak (tree guy estimate) has at least 75% still. I'm strangely nonchalant about my neighbors' monster beeches, maples, and oaks. Most are missing at least 50% of their leaves, and they seem to be handling the current gusts without too much swaying. Hopefully my lack of concern isn't naive and nothing much happens with them as things pick up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herb@MAWS Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I have two big, tall, bushy crape myrtles and a 30' holly tree in my front yard. I wouldn't be surprised if I lose something from at least of them. They're already struggling, especially the crape myrtles, as they still have all their leaves on them. We lost our 3 yr old crepe myrtle in last year's storm/ wind gusts -- our only loss. Ours wasn't tied to stakes. Good luck with yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanineJ Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 It was howling here with the stronger gusts. Trees were bending a bit. Estimate a 35mph gust. And right now barely a breeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
