How does North Topeka (NOTO)'s climate affect this service?
NOTO's riverfront cottonwoods carry a higher limb-failure risk than the oaks and maples found elsewhere in Topeka, especially once Tornado Alley's spring wind season arrives between March and June. Ice storms add real weight-load risk to the same weak-wooded species, and the January 2007 ice storm's widespread limb failure across the region is exactly the kind of event that hits cottonwood canopy hardest. Hot summers and periodic drought stress can also dry out riverside soil faster than expected once the water table drops, worth watching on any cottonwood showing early leaf drop..
