Ramstad recommends an- swering the following ques- tions soon after a storm has passed, and acting upon the recommended treatment: • Are limbs broken, cracked or split? Prune back the limb to where it meets a larger branch, or in some cases back to the tree’s trunk. If more than 50 percent of your tree’s large limbs are damaged, the tree has less of a chance of surviving. You may need to consider removal. • If a tree is leaning or up- rooted, what size is it? If it is a small, younger tree, you may be able to right it and stake it. Larger, older trees are more difficult to save and may nev- er regrow roots that would be able to hold the tree in place. • Are there large wounds where branches have broken or bark has been damaged? The larger the wound, the more vulnerable the tree is to diseases and pests. • Is the top of the main trunk lost? On a smaller tree, you may be able to train an adjacent branch to become the new leader. If it is a larger tree, you may need to consid- er removal. If the tree is not in a location where its falling would pose a risk to people or property, consider leaving 20 or 30 feet of the trunk stand- ing as a tree where wildlife can perch or make nests. • Is the trunk cracked or split? Cracks are dangerous and can be fatal to your tree, to you and to nearby struc- tures. Removal is probably the only option. • Is the tree worth saving? Sometimes it may be best to remove a badly damaged tree and start over by planting a new tree suited to the avail- able space. Consider this op- tion if the damaged tree: — Is located where it does not have enough room to grow — Has had its natural shape ruined by improper pruning, such as topping — Is an invasive species, such as English hawthorn or the very brittle tree of heaven If you have concerns about your tree, consider hiring an Dunes City seeks to fill Planning Commission vacancies Dunes City is accepting applications for a Planning Commissioner.

An ISA-certified arborist can discuss options with you and may be able to save a lightly damaged tree through good pruning tech- niques. Remedial pruning almost always costs less than remov- al. Winter is also a good time to plant bare-root deciduous trees. “If a bare-root tree is plant- ed in spring, the roots won’t have had time to anchor the tree in the soil before the leaves grow,“ said Ramstad. “A leafed-out tree’s canopy can catch the wind and act like a sail. This increases the risk it will fall over. “Stakes are usually not needed to keep a tree in place unless it is in a windy area or a location where it might be damaged by people walk- ing on the root zone,” added Ramstad. “Natural movement of the branches and trunk due to wind actually helps the tree grow stronger.” 45% OFF Implants NOW FREE CONSULTATION See the DentureMaster’s difference, we do it all right here!

Check trees soon after storms to see if removal is necessary After a winter storm has passed it’s important for prop- erty owners to check if their trees were damaged. Knowing how badly wind, ice or snow has injured a tree can indicate what immediate or long-term steps might be needed. Removing trees that pose an immediate risk to people or property should be the first order of business, according to the Oregon Department of Forestry’s Kristin Ramstad. She is manager of ODF’s Ur- ban and Community Forestry Assistance Program. “Large trees that have fallen over and are blocking streets, sidewalks or driveways after a storm need attention right away,” said Ramstad. “Equally important is removing trees whose roots are heaving out of the ground. But be alert for large hanging branches and stay away from power lines that may have come down with a tree.” Barring those extreme ex- amples, Ramstad said trees have an amazing ability to recover from storm damage. The Florence Police De- partment will be participating in extra DUII Enforcement during the Christmas and New Year’s Day holidays. The department has re- ceived grant funding for ad- ditional DUII enforcement over the Christmas and New Year holiday period, which began Dec. 13 and continues through Jan. 2, 2019.
