Bradford Pears and other weak-wooded trees in your yard are a real risk as storm season arrives in Middle Tennessee.
These trees share a structural problem: fast growth that produces tight, included bark at branch unions. In calm weather, those unions hold. Under the high winds and saturated soils that Middle Tennessee storm systems bring, they fail, often without warning. Bradford Pear, Silver Maple, Mimosa, and several ornamental cherries are the species we see fail most often in Franklin and Williamson County yards.
Franklin Tree Service's ISA Tree Risk Assessor can evaluate the specific trees on your property and give you a documented assessment of what's manageable, what needs structural pruning, and what should be removed before the next severe weather event.
