Managing Trees Damaged In A Storm

Though they are generally viewed as being sturdy and permanent, trees may end up being defenceless in adverse weather such as strong winds and storms. Intense storms and high winds have been known to decimate trees and tear even the sturdiest & healthiest trees from the soil, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times following a storm have you heard about storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the inconvenience and danger it additionally may cause expensive repair work.

The most difficult decision after a storm isn’t how to remove the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is pretty much simple. The harder choice is if some of the trees still standing are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been partly affected in the storm may well pose a possible future threat and may well need to be disassembled and removed to prevent putting property & people in danger in many months or even years in the future.

Some other trees may be saved by being pruned back, with their most damaged sections being ‘cut off’ much like how an operating surgeon will remove a gangrenous limb. Others might require to get staked with guy ropes or supported with other supports until they can re-develop the root system they need to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on property, our tree specialists can be relied upon to take away the broken trees efficiently, safely and quickly to allow the construction companies access to the building to start restorations on the damaged structures and power lines.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

Each of these kinds of damage leads to an unique diagnosis for the trees’ potential survival, however forming a diagnosis is a job best entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more likely to miss a small detail that could differentiate one conclusion from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that indicates that the roots also snapped.

There are generally six types of storm damage that a tree can’t generally sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the entire tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the ground, leading to the crown to come down or to lean strongly even though the bottom part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree tear under the ground, leading to the tree pitching or swinging dramatically.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to split, but stays standing. This takes place most frequently on trees with highly lopsided crowns. The entire crown ultimately becomes a weather vane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening strikes have a lot of secondary effects like opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a lightening-hit tree is typically at a considerably higher risk to fall even though it made it through the original storm.
