Handling Trees Damaged In A Storm

Although they are typically seen as being durable and permanent, trees can certainly become vulnerable in adverse weather like strong winds and storms. Fierce storms and extreme winds have been known to annihilate trees and tear even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the soil, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times following a storm have you heard about storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. In addition to the danger and inconvenience it also can result in expensive repairs.

The toughest decision following a storm is not specifically how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that is pretty much straightforward. The tougher choice is whether or not any of the trees still standing are salvageable.

Some trees that have been partially affected in the storm may well pose a future hazard and may well have to be disassembled and removed to prevent placing property and people at risk in months or even years to come.

Some other trees can be preserved by being pruned back, with their worst damaged sections being ‘amputated’ much like how an operating surgeon would take off a gangrenous leg. Others may need to be staked with guy cables or supported with various other supports up until they can re-develop the root system they require to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on buildings, our tree professionals can be trusted to remove the broken trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the building crews easy access to the property to begin maintenance and repairs on the affected properties and power cables.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

All of these kinds of problem creates a different outlook for the trees’ long term survival, but forming a diagnosis is a task best entrusted to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more going to overlook a small detail that could separate one conclusion from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which signifies that the roots also failed.

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

• Blowovers – this is where the whole tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the soil, causing the crown to come down or to angle violently whilst the lower section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree snap under the soil, leading to the tree leaning or swaying considerably.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to split, but stays standing. This happens most frequently on trees with very lopsided crowns. The whole crown basically transforms into a weathervane 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 strikes have a lot of secondary effects like 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 considerably higher danger to drop even if it endured the original storm.
