Here in California, we are getting hit hard by storms right now. Among the perils have been trees falling due to the high winds and losing stability from the saturated soil. I am curious as to which species are most susceptible to toppling over under these weather conditions. As I mentioned before in a previous entry, the prevalence of eucalyptus trees contributed to the devastation of the Oakland hills fire back in 1991. I wonder if a similar situation exists with non-native trees and instability?
