Silver maples seem to be built to weather strong prevailing westerly -and north -westerlies. Their survival rate is better than with thicker, denser tree-tops. But with these weeks of high winds, they still 'calve' sticks and branches off, even after heavy pruning last spring. It's "OK" to keep picking up new "kindling " for next spring's campfires, however, short of planting prairie grasses, any ideas as to which other trees typically are good for surviving windstorms storms in West MI ?
