You may think you're doing the plants a favor by breaking the ice off, but an expert says, "leave it alone."
Christine Moore, an arborist and curator of the National Herb Garden at the National Arboretum, says that branches are brittle right now. Suddenly releasing the weight of the ice will cause them to suddenly snap skyward while they're still not flexible.

About the ice on trees and shrubs, it also helps preseve the moisture for the plant. Basically, it's good for them as long as you don't break the ice off. The ice acts as an insulator.
