Arborvitaes Bent After Heavy Snow

Question From: WISCONSIN
Q: Due to heavy snow this winter, my aborvitaes have some main branches bending away from other branches. What used to look like a single unit now is a unit with one or two curved branches and some straight up. ,The aborvitae are about 10 to 12 feet tall (there are 5 of them) and about 10-15 years old.. Should they be tired up? Cut off? Ignored?

A:

The arbs may or may not straighten themselves out. If you choose to tie them up do it gradually so the trunks don't crack. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy.
