    Shook trees off when I got home and they're fine. Shrubs on the other hand are looking rough.

    None so far and I can't shake them clean. Tons of trees broke in the hood.

    We shook some of the snow off the trees, they are all pretty droopy now.
    I think one tree may be permanently damaged which is awesome considering we had one tree die over the winter.

    Neighbors columnar swedish aspen is now being held up by the fence... It was big too, at least ten years old.

    They're certainly big, but I don't know if they are the BEST I've tasted.

    Hmm.. maybe tomorrow I'll take my leaf blower out and blow the snow off the trees.

    Many of our trees have a ton of berries, or crabapples, pears, so the branches were really drooping. Went out with an 18 foot pole and smacked as many as I could reach, none broken so far.

    If they are still the same when I get home tonight the one tree in my backyard has branches almost touching the ground.

    2 days ago I could walk underneath it.

    Thanks for the advice. Shook all the snow off my trees, and they're looking pretty decent.

    This guy was lucky.


    I also felt like an old man shaking snow off my trees.

    That will be like trying to blow clay off of them, but good luck.

    We lost a tree last night. The stupid thing just broke off and fell right over from the base, right onto the fence posts I just put in on Saturday.

    So, if my trees topple over onto a neighbors house and causes damage to their home, who is liable?

    Would I have to claim their damage on my home owners policy?

    My trees are nowhere near that growth stage, but seeing all this damage has me thinking.
