Florida is no stranger to hurricanes. Each year, these powerful storms pose a significant threat to the state’s people and property, including its rich biodiversity of trees. Here’s an in-depth look at how hurricanes impact Florida’s trees:

Uprooting and Damage: The high-speed winds associated with hurricanes can cause extensive damage to trees, often resulting in uprooting or broken limbs. This can lead to a significant loss of tree cover in affected areas.

Increased Disease and Pest Incidence: After a hurricane, trees are often more susceptible to diseases and pests. The stress caused by the storm weakens the tree’s natural defenses, making it easier for diseases and pests to take hold.

Changes in Habitat: In the wake of a hurricane, the drastic changes in a tree’s environment can affect its ability to survive and thrive. Changes in soil moisture, sunlight, and temperature can all have significant impacts.

At Action Tree Care, we understand the unique challenges Florida’s trees face, especially during hurricane season.
