Bradford Pears, the tree everyone loves to hate. They grow fast, but that’s about their only redeeming quality. Their weak wood snaps in storms, their brittle limbs drop like confetti, and their invasive nature means they’re constantly popping up where they don’t belong. Oh, and let’s not forget that unforgettable scent in the spring.

If you’ve got one, now’s the perfect time to prune it properly. Right down to the stump. These trees don’t just spread by seed, their roots send up suckers that keep coming back, so complete removal is the best way to stop them from taking over. Native alternatives like serviceberry, fringe tree, and black gum provide beautiful blooms, strong wood, and food for wildlife without the headaches.

Have you ever had to deal with these trees trying to take over your yard?

Had the opportunity from a past teacher of mine to take down this big oak tree they had leaning over their gazebo and pool. With strategic rigging and patience we got the job done safely and proficiently. Thank you again Mr. Richie and Mrs. Susan.

Huge thanks to Mr. Costic for reaching out to us over these two River Birches in front of one of his rental properties. As you can see in the reel one of these were hollowed out and could have dropped any day. Hopefully you can get a little better sleep knowing these two trees are out of the way and won’t be returning.

🚨 WEDNESDAY NIGHT WINTER STORM UPDATE: THINGS ARE STILL CHANGING/FINE TUNING 🧊 ❄️

*TLDR: less snow, more ice, not good*

We are continuing to track a significant winter storm that will impact the Mid-South from Friday afternoon through Sunday, with Saturday shaping up to be the most dangerous day. This is still evolving, but confidence is increasing in a prolonged period of snow, ice, and bitter cold.

Let’s walk through what to expect.

TIMING | WHEN PRECIPITATION BEGINS FRIDAY
This system starts out light, then ramps up quickly overnight.

• 3 to 6 PM Friday
Eastern Arkansas will likely see the first flakes

• 6 to 9 PM Friday
Memphis, Shelby County, DeSoto County, and areas right along the Mississippi River

• 9 to 11 PM Friday
The remainder of the Mid-South

Early precipitation Friday afternoon and evening should be light, but conditions will deteriorate quickly later Friday night.

STORM INTENSITY | HOW THIS UNFOLDS
• Snow and freezing rain start light Friday
• Snow, sleet, and freezing rain become more persistent Friday night into Saturday morning
• Saturday is the main impact day, with the steadiest and heaviest snow and ice
• As colder air deepens, another round of mainly snow is expected on Sunday, including into Northern Mississippi

This is a long-duration event, not a quick hit.

STORM TRACK | WHY THIS IS STILL CHANGING
Recent model runs are pushing the snow and ice line farther north than earlier forecasts. Small shifts in the storm track will make a big difference in who sees more snow versus more ice, especially around the I-40 corridor and into North Mississippi. This trend is being watched closely.

SNOW & ICE POTENTIAL | WHAT WE CAN SAY NOW
It is still too early for exact totals at specific locations, but there is enough data to outline reasonable ranges.

Snow potential
• 3 to 6 inches north of I-40
• 2 to 4 inches for Memphis, Shelby County, DeSoto County, and areas along the TN-MS border
• Up to 2 inches for southern Mid-South counties

Ice potential
• Ice looks more likely in Northern Mississippi and parts of Eastern Arkansas
• 0.25 to 0.75 inches of ice possible in those higher-risk areas
• Memphis and the I-40 corridor may see both snow and ice, with 0.10 to 0.25 inches of ice possible, isolated higher amounts cannot be ruled out

THE BOTTOM LINE
This is shaping up to be a high-impact winter storm for the Mid-South.

• Light precipitation begins Friday, then worsens rapidly overnight
• Saturday remains the most hazardous day with the greatest risk for heavy snow, meaningful ice accumulation, and dangerous travel
• Snow and ice continue into Sunday with colder air reinforcing the system
• Dangerously cold temperatures and wind chills arrive Saturday night and last into Tuesday morning, with frostbite risk possible both day and night

This is not a one-day event. Travel issues, power concerns, and prolonged cold are all on the table.

Removing and trimming trees before thunderstorms and tornadoes is critical for safety, property protection, and storm preparedness:
• Prevents tree failure: Dead, cracked, or overgrown limbs are far more likely to break off in high winds, turning into dangerous projectiles.
• Reduces property damage: Properly trimmed trees are less likely to fall on homes, vehicles, fences, roofs, and power lines during severe weather.
• Protects lives: Falling limbs and uprooted trees are a leading cause of storm-related injuries and fatalities.
• Improves wind resistance: Thinning dense canopies allows wind to pass through more easily, reducing the chance of uprooting or splitting.
• Avoids emergency costs: Preventative maintenance is far less expensive than emergency tree removal and storm cleanup after damage occurs.
• Keeps access clear: Proactive trimming helps prevent blocked driveways, roads, and emergency access points during and after storms.

Bottom line: Well-maintained trees are stronger, safer, and far less likely to cause damage when severe weather strikes. Proactive trimming and removal is an investment in safety and peace of mind 🌳⚠️
