Re: How well Talls stand up to wind?
I had issues up here as well .....
Lost a few leaves here also, as well as few tree limbs. Manini took it heavy....blew over 3x broke alot of leaves. You took it hard....ab Now the colder weather will set soon.....so no recovery is on the horizon.... And so it goes....... Last edited by cincinnana : 10-03-2014 at 06:59 PM. |

Re: How well Talls stand up to wind?
I make a lot of mulch but keeping the pk's below the bend.. Had caligold & Datil pots blow over so it was some serious wind.. Braz & Sweetheart have a couple broken brach's, and I do believe Njalipoovan might have one broke so it fared the best..

Re: How well Talls stand up to wind?
You should consider leaf pruning, I deal with high winds on a regular basis and pruning makes a huge difference.
FYI when leaves are pruned, the remaining leaves become more efficient.

Re: How well Talls stand up to wind?
So sorry to see that.
Where they fruiting or near? If it is just a bend on the PK, you may have some good chances for it to survive. It sucks no matter what. Best of luck. |

Re: How well Talls stand up to wind?
Any pointers on leaf pruning to stand up to the wind? Just generally reduce the number of leaves to reduce wind resistance, or are you more strategic about which leaves get removed (e.g., ones anticipated to catch the full brunt of the wind based on expected direction)?
