Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact they are generally seen as being really durable and timeless, trees may end up being defenceless in adverse weather conditions such as strong winds & storms. Fierce storms and strong winds have been known to wipe out trees and uplift even the sturdiest & healthiest trees out of the soil, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times after a storm have you heard about storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the inconvenience and danger it also may result in expensive repair work.

The hardest option following a windstorm isn’t specifically how to get rid of the trees that are definitely down, that’s fairly straightforward. The tougher choice is whether or not any of the trees left upright are salvageable.

Some trees that have been partly damaged in the storm may pose a possible future hazard and may have to be chopped down and disposed of to avoid putting people & property in danger in many months or years ahead.

Some other trees may be conserved by being trimmed back, with their worst damaged parts being ‘severed’ just like how an operating surgeon would remove a gangrenous leg. Some other will require to be staked down with guy cables or supported with additional supports until they are able to re-develop the root structure they need to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on property, our tree professionals can be relied upon to get rid of the damaged trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the building and construction companies access to the building to begin repair work on the affected buildings and power lines.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

Each one of these kinds of damage creates a varied outlook for the trees’ potential survival, but making a prognosis is a task best left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more going to fail to notice a small detail that may well separate one decision from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that signifies that the roots also snapped.

There are generally 6 forms of storm damage that a tree can’t generally 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, leading to the crown to fall or to lean strongly whilst the lower part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree snap underneath the earth, resulting in the tree bending or swinging dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to splinter, but stays standing. This occurs most typically on trees with highly unbalanced crowns. The whole crown ultimately becomes a weather vane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can not.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a many additional effects like opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a tree hit by lightening is typically at a substantially higher risk to drop even if it survived the initial storm.
