Florida summers mean Florida thunderstorms. When we have storms, we have lightning. According to AccuWeather, there are over 3,200 cloud-to-ground lightning flashes in Florida per day.
Florida trees are vulnerable. Not only are they usually the tallest object on your property, but the moisture and sap in a tree act as conductors for electricity.
When lightning strikes a tree, it causes the water in the tree to boil. Steam is formed which causes stripping, cracking, and breakage. The deeper the moisture, the deeper the damage.
The moisture and sap inside a tree turn to steam on impact — stripping bark, cracking the trunk, and often leaving the tree structurally unsafe.
If your tree is hit by lightning, there are steps you can take to help preserve your tree. Extra water and fertilizer can promote your tree's natural ability to heal itself.
If the damage to your tree is severe or your tree becomes dangerous due to a lightning strike, immediate removal may be necessary.
Let our professional team remove that dangerous tree safely.
