Managing Storm Damaged Trees

Although they are generally viewed as being sturdy and everlasting, trees can come to be at risk in adverse weather like storms and strong winds. Powerful storms and extreme winds have been seen to annihilate trees and rip even the sturdiest and healthiest trees out of the ground, sending them crashing to the earth, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times soon after strong winds have you heard about dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the danger & inconvenience it additionally can cause costly repairs.

The toughest decision following a storm isn’t specifically how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that’s pretty much easy. The more difficult choice is whether some of the trees remaining upright can be saved.

Various trees that have been partly damaged in the windstorm may present a possible future hazard and may well need to be chopped down and disposed of to prevent putting property and people at risk in months or years in the future.

Some other trees could be preserved by being pruned back, with their most cracked parts being ‘amputated’ just like how an operating surgeon might amputate a gangrenous limb. Some other will need to get staked with guy wires or held up with various other supports until they are able to re-develop the root system they need to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on property, our tree experts can be trusted to get rid of the broken trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the building and construction teams easy access to the property to begin repairs on the affected buildings and power lines.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

Each of these sorts of problem results in a varied prognosis for the trees’ potential survival, but forming a diagnosis is a task ideally entrusted to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more going to fail to notice a small detail that may differentiate one conclusion from another, like noticing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which reveals that the roots also failed.

There are generally six types of storm damage which a tree can’t typically stand up to:

• Blowovers – this is where the whole tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the earth, causing the crown to fall or to sag strongly while the lower section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree tear under the earth, leading to the tree bending or swaying significantly.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to splinter, but stays up. This occurs most typically on trees with very unbalanced crowns. The whole crown effectively becomes 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 up, at the moment. Lightening hits have a lot of additional effects including massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a tree hit by lightening is typically at a very much greater risk to fall despite the fact that it endured the initial windstorm.
