Lightning
Tall trees are prone to lightning strikes, but there are types of trees that draw this unpredictable weather condition. Pine trees, tulip trees, oak trees, maple trees are all species of trees that are statistically damaged more often than others. Old, historic trees and trees that are featured in landscaping designs as well as trees close to structures are susceptible to lightning strikes. Though lightning is unpredictable, knowing about the risk is half the battle. A solid landscape design with the correct species of trees along with regular maintenance can help secure your trees from potential damage from lightning.
Heavy Rains and Downpours
If you live in Jacksonville, you know that our rainy season can be fickle. The significant rainfall we get each year leaves our soil saturated and soft, making it difficult for some trees to maintain the integrity of their root systems. Certain trees species are left defenseless and succumb to the circumstances.
Though water oaks are known for their shallow root systems that suffer during torrential rains, all trees have the potential to be uprooted during rainstorms. Large trees that are broad at the top can become top heavy and topple over when the soil surrounding their roots becomes soft. The roots simply have nothing to hold onto and the tree succumbs to gravity.
Regular trimming and maintenance during all phases of the tree’s life can cutback the top weight of a mature tree and decrease unplanned tree emergencies.

Winds and Nor’easter Storms
Surrounded by water, Jacksonville is often the recipient of gentle ocean breezes on mild days and devastatingly strong winds during hurricane season. These winds can range between 2 miles per hour to 175 miles per hour and will wreak havoc on your trees. Again, tall trees with dead limbs can be particularly prone to damage, however, it is helpful to keep in mind that trees that have lived through previous tropical storm and hurricane winds can have unseen and hidden damage that can cause them to break or fall later.
Trees that are in groups tend to survive wind storms better than others, though the laurel oak has a poorer survival rate in particularly blustery winds.
