The most obvious result of high winds is a tree that either leans or completely falls over from the ground. For the most part, this is the result of a poorly developed root system or root damage or disease. The second notable wind injury is limb breakage. Certain species with brittle wood are more susceptible to this. However, any tree with fruit-laden branches, weak branch connections, or located in an unusually windy area may lose branches. If branches break due to wind, it is best to remove the branch with a clean cut below the break at the point of origin. If there was bark peel-back below the break, leave it alone.
