Well, DH and I have noticed that I have:
~two cherry trees broke in two.
~a pine tree broken as well
~two crushed and broken cedars
~a completely broken 5 in 1 apple tree(not sure it can be saved)
~another apple tree broken right off at the base
~my plum tree is half broken up
Those will have to be replaced I'm sure.
The others such as spireas, ninebarks, and weigelas can be cut back. As well as my fruit bushes. Alot of trees just need branches recut where they are broken.
I can honestly say that this is the worst damage I have ever seen from the winter. There are about 20 shrubs that need to be cut right back....
I am honestly thinking of not bothering to replace the trees, just dig them up and fill in the holes. I lose hundreds of dollars each year in replacements.
I think I'll concentrate on making bigger
flower beds instead...at least they come back every year.
