Spotting Tree Damage from Winter Storms

Winter weather has been exceedingly unpredictable lately, and 2023 is shaping up to be no different. For homeowners, sudden dips in temperature or predictions of ice, snow and freezing rain could predict damage to the trees in your landscape. Trees react to winter weather by going dormant, allowing them to acclimate to colder temperatures. In short, they stop growing, and sap, the lifeblood of trees, stops flowing. During this time, the membranes of a tree’s cells become more permeable and flexible, so they are better able to handle the sharp edges of frozen water molecules if those molecules happen to make their way through the cell wall.
