Tree Tip of the Day: Watch for Cracked Limbs After Windstorms

Now helping homeowners in Audubon Park (40213)

Louisville weather doesn’t play around. Whether it’s a quick thunderstorm or a longer wind event, even a healthy tree can take a hit.

After high winds, it’s crucial to walk your yard and inspect for signs of storm damage, especially in older neighborhoods like Audubon Park, where many trees are mature and heavy-limbed.

Here’s what to look for:

• Limbs cracked but still attached

• Branches hanging or leaning into your roof, fence, or power lines

• Bark peeling near breaks or splits

• Trees that shifted or leaned during the storm

Cracked limbs can look minor — until the next gust brings them down. It’s better (and cheaper) to catch them early.

We’re currently helping homeowners across 40213 assess their trees after recent winds. Our team of certified arborists can trim, brace, or remove dangerous limbs before they become a bigger problem.
