I live in the foothills of the coast range in Grand Ronde. The wind from

trees off the benches and desiccates them badly especially the maples.
Actually all the desiduous trees have varying degrees of die back. I have
them in the most protected spot on my property. Under the edge of my three
large oak trees and behind my shop/potshed building, but the wind still
gets them.

When I know a windstorm is coming I already know which trees are most likely to be
blown over. I either put them on the ground, or put a heavy rock on the soil
surface. That usually works.
