About 2 weeks ago we had a EF2 tornado go through our building site on the farm. Last year we planted 25 norway spruce (about 2-3 ft now) and a flowering crab.
The bark on several of the branches on the flowering crab have been scuffed, although not completely around a branch. Since then we have had high temperatures and 25-40 mph winds. Is there anything I should do to ensure that it will still be OK. It was at the height of the flowers. I have been watering it, but I don't want to overwater it either. So far I have not seen much in the way of new growth.
Several of the spruce trees were bent over from the oak trees and other pine trees landing on them. The needles of those doubled over are now turning brown. I see some signs of new growth after watering them.
Our soil has a lot of gravel so it drains well.
Any advice?
