Community Trees Under Threat After Hurricane Milton

After Hurricane Milton, homeowners in New Port Richey, Florida are trying to save their trees that were uprooted or damaged. Arborists are helping homeowners determine if their trees can be saved, and the process depends on the extent of root damage. If more than 50% of the roots are lost, the chances of saving the tree are slim, but it’s still worth a try. Tree removal doesn’t require a permit if it’s fully uprooted, but a permit is needed if the tree is still alive. Experts suggest extra trimming and watering to help the trees recover.
