Managing Storm Damaged Trees

Even though they are often seen as being really solid and timeless, trees can become vulnerable in adverse weather conditions such as storms & strong winds. Intense storms and very high winds have been seen to annihilate trees and tear even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the soil, sending them plunging to the ground, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times after strong winds have you heard about storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Apart from the danger and inconvenience it also can result in expensive renovations.

The hardest option after a storm is not how to get rid of the trees that are definitely down, that’s more or less easy. The more challenging decision is whether or not some of the trees remaining upright can be saved.

Various trees that have been in part affected in the storm can pose a possible future risk and may well have to be cut down and disposed of to avoid putting property and people in danger in many months or even years in the future.

Other trees maybe conserved by being trimmed back, with their worst damaged sections being ‘amputated’ just like how a surgeon may take off a gangrenous limb. Others might require to be staked down with guy ropes or held up with additional supports up until they can re-develop the root system they need to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree specialists can be trusted to clear away the damaged trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the building and construction crews easy access to the property to begin repair work on the affected buildings and power cables.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each one of these kinds of problem leads to a varied prognosis for the trees’ future survival, but making a diagnosis is a task ideally entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more liable to overlook a small detail that might just separate one conclusion from another, like observing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that reveals that the roots also snapped.

There are basically 6 types of storm damage that a tree can not typically endure:

• Blowovers – this is where the entire tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the ground, resulting in the crown to fall or to lean violently even though the bottom section stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree crack beneath the ground, resulting in the tree bending or swaying noticeably.
• Limb Failures – is where several branches of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to splinter, but stays up. This happens most commonly on trees with highly disproportionate crowns. The entire crown effectively ends up being a weathervane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a many 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 much higher risk to drop even though it endured the original storm.
