Arborist Jeff Erber gives tips on how to protect trees as Denver's first snow approaches.
A Winter Storm Watch is up for the Denver area, with 4-10 inches of snow the most likely snowfall range across most of the metro area, although snowfall amounts will vary widely across a small area.
If the tree is clear of utility lines, use a broom to remove as much snow as possible from branches by brushing off or gently shaking. Avoid large, rapid movement as this could cause the limb to break.If it appears the tree has fallen on powerlines, it's best to leave it alone and wait for Xcel Energy to come and clear it.Tuesday's storm looks like the 'Big One,' but what's the big one?Before approaching the tree, make sure your surroundings are safe.
If there's a hard freeze after trees break bud – either leaf bud or flower – it will normally kill those buds. Leaves will come back from a secondary bud, but flowers will not bud again, and this will also mean loss of fruit: apples, peaches, apricots, etc. The good news in this scenario is that the freeze will also kill the seed buds on trees such as ash and elm that drop nuisance seeds that must be cleaned up later.
