Lighting, thunder, and heavy downpour. Are your trees ready for this monsoon season? Arizona's monsoon season extends from mid-June through mid-September. Monsoon season can inflict significant damage to trees that are not prepared for heavy downpours or high winds. Dead or dying branches make a tree more vulnerable during monsoons, because of their brittleness. These branches crack under pressure, causing damage to healthy parts of the tree. Pruning your trees also thins out foliage at the crown of the tree. Very dense canopies do poorly in high winds. Increasing the chance if healthy branch breakage, putting the health of your tree at risk. Dense canopies also increase the risk of whole trees toppling over, potentially causing damage to your property. Another good measure to take before monsoon season is to address any pest problems. Trees already weakened by pest related damage will be more likely to suffer additional damage during monsoon season. Inspecting your trees on your property for signs of pest or similar problems like fungal growth, before monsoon season, could mean the difference between a damaging or non-damaging monsoon season.
