Which trees held up the best?
My Southern magnolias are ok but I saw many in other places with limbs
torn off. The American Holly and the Nellie Stevens Holly are fine. Many of the young Eastern red cedars just bent over but all my old ones are trashed. Those, the pines and the Bradford pears were worst hit. This storm gave a clear example of the Bradford Pear's structural defects. I understand there are new cultivars with better branching habits. I wonder if anyone has some planted and if so how they fared? ncstockguy wrote: Anyone see a pattern to which trees seemed to hold up the best in the ice storm? Our sweetgums and long leaf pines lost a lot of branches. Am now wondering if there are some good evergreen trees that are stronger under the weight of ice, but still do well in our hot summer climate? -- Pat Brothers The Powell House Wake Forest, NC Zone 7b The Perennials Lady at Atlantic Ave. Orchids and Garden Center |
