The hardest option following a storm is not how to get rid of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty much easy. The more challenging choice is whether any of the trees remaining standing are salvageable.

Various Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each of these types of damage creates a different diagnosis for the trees’ potential survival, but making a prognosis is a job ideally entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more liable to fail to notice a small detail that may well differentiate one decision from another, like noticing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which indicates that the roots also failed.

There are basically 6 sorts of storm damage which a tree can’t typically endure:

• Blowovers – these are where the entire tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the earth, causing the trees crown to fall or to lean violently whilst the bottom section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree crack under the earth, resulting in the tree bending or swaying considerably.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to split, but stays standing. This happens most typically on trees with highly lopsided crowns. The entire crown effectively transforms into a weathervane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk can not.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a many secondary effects including massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a lightening-hit tree is typically at a much greater danger to drop even though it made it through the original windstorm.
