The cleanup from Hurricane Michael is on-going here in Georgia and many growers have reached the point where they have a lot of the debris cleaned out of the way but have to decide what to do with mangled trees that remain standing. The answer will depend on a number of factors, including tree density in the orchard, the severity of treedamage, and the tree's age. First, let me say that trees leaning 35 to 45 degrees or more should be cut down. If they are straightened back up, occasionally some will live but most are just blown over again by a subsequent storm or never regain the vigor they should have.
