In Moore, emergency calls follow the weather, and the first call is usually tornadoes. Moore has been hit by violent tornadoes in 1999 (F5), 2003, 2010 and 2013 (EF5); spring storms strip and uproot whole neighborhoods of trees. Next on the list: ice storms. The October 2020 and December 2007 ice storms shattered canopies across the OKC metro, especially pears, elms and pecans. The trees that fail most often here are eastern redcedar, Bradford (Callery) pear and silver maple. Winter dormancy (December-February) is the best time for removals and storm-hardening pruning in Moore, done ahead of the April-June tornado season, and oaks should be left alone from February through June because OSU Extension warns oak wilt and other pathogens spread through fresh spring wounds.

Permits & rules in Moore
Moore has no permit requirement for removing trees on private property: the municipal code contains no tree-removal, protected-tree or tree-size ordinance, and it actually obligates owners to act, since Sec. 8-210 makes it unlawful to let a dead or diseased tree stand on a lot or along the adjacent sidewalk, street or alley, with 45 days' written notice before the city removes it and bills or liens the owner (Secs. 8-211 to 8-216, Ord. 812(16)). Owners must also keep trees in the parking strip and along streets trimmed to at least 10 ft above the roadway and 8 ft above sidewalks (Sec. 14-103). No separate permit for working on trees in the public right-of-way was found in the code.
Storm debris: Every Moore residence gets two free scheduled Big Trash pickups per year (tree branches must be under 10 ft long, placed within 10 ft of the curb; schedule at 405-793-5070) plus one free landfill voucher per year from City Hall, and the city has run special curbside debris collection after its major tornadoes.
