I arrived home in France today to see my beloved Silver Birch, I have
about a dozen but 2 were very damaged with the weight of snow on their
branches. *They are drooping, like a willow, will they recover or will
I need to prune, severely in Spring?

How tall are they Judith? *Mine must be older than yours, and they are Tall!

I would say 30 metres at a guess. I can now see that there are
several broken branches and the Acacia has snapped branches ruining
the overall shape. I usually prune Acacia in Autumn although I have
been known to do it in Spring as well, could I prune it now, it looks
a fright.
