Late-Summer Thunderstorms and Structural Weak Points in Mature Trees

Post Copy

Late summer brings some of Fairfield County's most intense thunderstorms, and mature trees carry weak points that don't show themselves until wind and rain put real pressure on them.

Codominant stems, included bark, and old pruning wounds are common failure points on the large specimen trees that define this area's properties. Most of these issues are invisible from the ground without a trained eye looking for them.

A structural check now, before the next storm rolls through, can catch a weak union or a heavy limb over a roofline while there's still time to address it calmly instead of after the fact.

Frank's Arborcare evaluates tree structure across Redding, Ridgefield, New Canaan, Darien, and Greenwich, with an eye toward preserving valuable trees whenever it's the sound call.

Authentic photo preferred: a close-up of a structural defect such as included bark or a codominant stem from a recent assessment, or a wide shot of a mature tree over a residential rooftop. Real assessment photos build far more credibility than generic storm imagery.
