Managing Trees Damaged In A Storm

Although they are usually considered as being durable and everlasting, trees can certainly become at risk in extreme weather conditions like strong winds and storms. Violent storms and strong winds have been seen to annihilate trees and uplift even the sturdiest and healthiest trees out of the ground, sending them plunging to the earth, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times following strong winds have you heard about dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the inconvenience & danger it additionally will lead to expensive restorations.

The most difficult option after a storm is not specifically how to dispose of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is fairly simple. The tougher choice is whether or not any of the trees left standing can be saved.

Various trees that have been partly injured in the storm may pose a potential risk and might need to be chopped down and took out to prevent placing people & property in danger in months or even years in the future.

Some other trees can be preserved by being pruned back, with their worst affected sections being ‘amputated’ exactly like how a surgeon would amputate a gangrenous leg. Some other will require to be staked down with guy cables or held up with various other supports up until they can re-develop the root structure they require to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on buildings, our tree specialists can be relied upon to remove the injured trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the building and construction companies access to the building to begin maintenance and repairs on the affected structures and power lines.

Various Sorts Of Storm Damage

Every one of these sorts of damage creates a varied diagnosis for the trees’ future survival, but forming a prognosis is a task ideally left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more likely to disregard a small detail that can differentiate one decision from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which indicates that the roots also snapped.

There are generally 6 forms of storm damage which a tree can not usually endure:

• Blowovers – this is where the whole tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the earth, causing the trees crown to come down or lean violently whilst the lower section stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree tear below the earth, leading to the tree bending or swaying significantly.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to split, but stays standing. This occurs most typically on trees with extremely unbalanced crowns. The whole crown ultimately turns into a weathervane in a storm, turning to follow the wind flow 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 lot of secondary effects including massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a lightening-hit tree is always at a very much greater danger to drop even if it endured the original storm.
