Question trees downed by winter ice and snow
Hello all,
I just found this group. The winter has been hard on my trees. I had some beautiful Arborvite ( 7) in front of my deck. They were 12 years old and they provided shade and a wind break, not to mention privacy. They were all at least 15 feet tall. This winter we had a huge snowfall and it was heavy snow mixed with ice. This brought 5 trees to the ground. They were beyond salvation, and though it broke my heart we took them out ( the stumps will have to wait until spring ) .Now I am left with an empty bed in front of my deck and two rather weatherbeaten trees that are still alive. Question: What can I plant in the space that will grow quickly, stand up to weather and also provide shade and privacy? I live in Pennsylvania. Any ideas will be appreciated. Thanks! Jenny |
