3 Ways Flooding Causes Tree Damage - Death

Extended flooding of North Florida South Georgia area of the Withlacoochee River from recent hurricanes can damage trees in the flood zone in 3 ways, and ultimately cause their death. Using scenes from the flooded areas, I discuss how damage to surface roots, wash out of soil, and tree bark damage from standing water can result in tree death. Follow up scenes taken several days after the last storm are included for comparison. Have you had similar situation in the area where you live? Comment! Subscribe @gardenyay
