It's difficult to predict when or where lightning will strike, however, some trees are more likely to take a hit than others. Taller trees, lone trees, trees near water features, on hilltops, or near homes or buildings are most often hit. Data has shown that pine, tulip poplar, maple, elm and oak are hit more frequently than other species. While you can’t predict when, if ever, a tree will be destroyed by lightning, you can choose to provide effective protection at any time. A lightning protection system, designed to harmlessly dissipate the destructive force of a 100,000 volt strike, can be installed in a high-risk tree at any. time. The cost to insure the protection of your tree is surprisingly affordable. For an assessment of your lightning protection requirements or to evaluate other tree-care needs, call me at 1-877- BARTLETT, or e-mail me at j wood @ hartlett.com.
