Keys to Trees and Hurricanes

One advantage of a weekly podcast is the ability to cover timely topics and there is currently not a more timely tree topic in Texas than hurricanes. We interrupt our normally scheduled programming to cover a vitally important topic.

Often the second wave of destruction for our trees are well-meaning folks with chainsaws. Listen to this episode to learn a few of the keys to dealing with trees and hurricane damage.

We have a few other episodes that could help.

Listen to episode 44 "Keys to Storm Response" to better understand what is going on will happen after the storm hits.
