Storm Damage Tree Removal

If you have a fallen tree, or suspect that your tree has been damaged by lightning or a storm, it is a good idea to call a certified tree surgeon. Because of the many objects and live power lines that may be underneath or around a tree it is dangerous for untrained people to attempt to approach them. Tree surgeons have years of experience and can safely remove any storm damaged trees.

Managing Storm Damaged Trees

Although they’re typically considered as being really solid and permanent, trees can easily come to be at risk in adverse weather like storms & strong winds. Fierce storms and strong winds have been seen to decimate trees and rip even the healthiest and sturdiest trees from the soil, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times following strong winds have you heard of dislodged branches and storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. Apart from the inconvenience and danger it also can lead to costly restorations.

The hardest decision after a windstorm is not specifically how to remove the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty simple. The more challenging decision is if any of the trees left upright are salvageable.

Some trees that have been partially harmed in the windstorm may present a possible future threat and might have to be disassembled and took out to prevent putting property & people in danger in many months or even years ahead.

Other trees might be preserved by being pruned back, with their most injured sections being ‘severed’ much like how a surgeon would take off a gangrenous leg. Others will require to be staked with guy cables or held up with various other supports up until they are able to re-develop the root structure they need to stand on their own.

Various Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each of these sorts of damage causes a distinct outlook for the trees’ future survival, however making a diagnosis is a task best entrusted to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more liable to disregard a small detail that might just differentiate one conclusion from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean which shows that the roots also snapped.

There are generally 6 types of storm damage which a tree can’t generally sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the full tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the soil, making the crown to fall or bend violently even though the lower section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree break beneath the soil, resulting in the tree leaning or swaying significantly.
• Branch Failures – is where several branches of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates enough to splinter, but stays up. This occurs most commonly on trees with highly disproportionate crowns. The full crown essentially ends up being a weather vane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening strikes have a several additional effects such as massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a tree hit by lightening is always at a much higher risk to drop even though it endured the original windstorm.
