Chapter 3 Assessing Hurricane-Damaged Trees and Deciding What to Do

Eliana Kampf, Mary L. Duryea, Edward F. Gilman, Astrid Delgado, Ryan Klein, and Alyssa Vinson

Right after a hurricane, communities and homeowners need to decide what to do with storm-damaged trees. Although damaged trees may seem to be dying, some trees can be restored, others will need to be removed, and still others will not require any special treatment and can be left alone. The factors that should be considered when deciding whether to remove or restore storm-damaged trees are discussed in detail in this fact sheet. This information helps to make informed decisions about how to treat the damaged trees after a storm. First published January 2007.
