Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Even though they are generally taken as being durable and timeless, trees can easily end up being defenceless in extreme weather like storms and strong winds. Fierce storms and high winds have been known to wipe out trees and tear even the sturdiest & healthiest trees from the soil, sending them toppling to the earth, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

There are basically six forms of storm damage which a tree can’t normally endure:

• Blowovers – this is where the full tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the soil, resulting in the crown to come down or lean strongly while the lower part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree break under the soil, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying significantly.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to splinter, but stays standing. This occurs most frequently on trees with extremely disproportionate crowns. The full crown effectively transforms into a weather vane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening hits have a several additional effects such as 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 greater danger to fall even though it survived the original storm.
