Buttoning can also be caused by any factor that limits leaf growth, such as insufficient water, frost, bird damage, a shortage of nitrogen, excessive salt, or weed competition. So, maintain a good fertilization and irrigation program and keep those weeds out of your garden. Keep the plants growing steadily and you should be okay. Wind dries out the soil and can increase evapotranspiration. That means the plants lose water faster and so need more frequent watering just to keep up.
Light wind can actually strengthen a tree's trunk, but strong wind can cause some damage.
Strong winds can split the bark or crack some main limbs. If the crack is small, you may be able to prop the pieces into place and splint the area before the tissue dries. If large, remove the entire branch. These result in deformation of the leaf later on. If the wind-whipping is bad enough some leaves may drop prematurely.
