Laurel oak
More
old laurel and water oaks fell down in the hurricanes than other trees. Many
arborists agree that this old specimens of these trees are especially susceptible
to blow down. They do not compartmentalize decay well so pruning cuts, trunk
injuries, and root damage can result in hollows and extensive internal decay
in roots and trunk.
