Author(s):
Braswell, Debbie Sykes
Abstract:
The author asserts that, rather than causing hurricane-related damage, trees can help prevent it, with Southern Red Oak and Live Oak as the best buffers against the wind. Not throwing caution to the wind, advice wise, Braswell suggests sacrificing old, mature trees with structural damage.
