Selecting Coastal Plain Species for Wind Resistance
FR174/FOR119 by Mary L. Duryea and Eliana KampfJuly 28, 2021A team of UF/IFAS scientists studied 10 hurricanes to determine their effect on the urban forest. One of the major goals of this study was to assemble lists of relative wind resistance for different urban tree species to help communities prepare for hurricane seasons. This fact sheet presents the research and methodology that lead to these lists, discusses the results and presents recommendations for selecting and establishing trees for a healthier and more wind-resistant urban forest.
Selecting Tropical and Subtropical Tree Species for Wind Resistance
FR175/FOR120 by Mary L. Duryea and Eliana KampfJuly 28, 2021A team of UF/IFAS scientists studied 10 hurricanes to determine their effect on the urban forest. One of the major goals of this study was to assemble lists of relative wind resistance for different urban tree species to help communities prepare for hurricane seasons. This fact sheet presents the research and methodology that lead to lists of relative wind resistance for tropical and subtropical tree species.

Chapter 12—Developing a Preventative Pruning Program: Young Trees
EP315/ENH1062 by Edward F. Gilman and Amanda BissonFebruary 21, 2017Trees growing in urban and suburban landscapes offer many benefits to the community. However, when a tree or part of a tree breaks, it can cause extensive damage to people and /or property. A preventive pruning program is an important tool used to help mitigate the risks from tree defects. Preventive pruning helps to promote good structure, making trees more resistant to storms and other natural forces. This fact sheet describes the components of preventative structural pruning, discusses how to determine pruning objectives, the pruning cycle and, lastly, proposes how to implement a preventative pruning plan for young trees in your community.
