During the summertime in the Redding and Chico California areas the trees become full of life and make our surroundings look even more beautiful. However, this season also brings a unique problem – something called summer limb drop. While the trees add to the beauty, they can also drop branches unexpectedly, which can be dangerous for people and property.

That's where About Trees can help – we're a top tree service company that knows a lot about trees. Our goal is to ensure safety for your family and neighbors.

Understanding Summer Limb Drop and Its Origins:

Amidst this beautiful scenery, we encounter the fascinating phenomenon of summer limb drop. This refers to the unexpected falling of tree branches in the summer, mainly due to a complex mix of environmental and physiological reasons. Though puzzling at first, a closer look helps us understand the science behind this event.

The Culprits Behind Summer Limb Drop:

Thermal Stress: As the sun's warmth intensifies, the outer layers of trees heat up more quickly than the inner layers. This discrepancy leads to tension between the layers, weakening the structural integrity of branches and making them prone to breakage.

Water Stress: The sweltering heat of summer increases water loss through a process called transpiration. If a tree's water uptake from the soil can't compensate for this loss, branches become dehydrated and vulnerable to detachment.

Decay or Infection: A rotting branch could also let infections get inside. Some people believe that an infection in the branch might be another reason for summer limb drop. If the infection makes extra gases build up inside the branch, it could increase the pressure. This could make the branch weaker and more likely to break.

Rapid Growth: The rapid growth of new shoots and leaves during summer can outpace a tree's ability to provide sufficient support, resulting in branch breakage.

Wind and Storms: Summer storms, accompanied by gusty winds and rainfall, exacerbate stress on trees. Weak branches are particularly susceptible to snapping under these conditions.
