Handling Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact they are often seen as being sturdy and timeless, trees can easily come to be at risk in adverse weather like storms & strong winds. Fierce storms and extreme winds have been seen to annihilate trees and tear even the healthiest and sturdiest trees out of the ground, sending them smashing to the earth, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

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

The most difficult decision after a storm isn’t how to dispose of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s more or less easy. The more challenging decision is whether some of the trees remaining standing can be saved.

Certain trees that have been partially damaged in the storm may well pose a potential future threat and may have to be cut down and took away to prevent placing property and people at risk in many months or years in the future.

Other trees might be preserved by being trimmed back, with their most damaged sections being ‘cut off’ just like how an operating surgeon will take off a gangrenous leg. Others may require to get staked with guy ropes or held up with additional supports up until they are able to re-develop the root structure they need to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on property, our tree specialists can be relied upon to remove the injured trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the building companies access to the building to start repair work on the damaged buildings and power cables.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

Every one of these kinds of damage causes a varied outlook for the trees’ future survival, but forming a prognosis is a job ideally left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more liable to disregard a small detail that might just differentiate one decision from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that indicates that the roots also snapped.

There are essentially 6 kinds of storm damage that a tree can’t usually stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the entire tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the soil, leading to the crown to fall or lean violently while the bottom part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree crack underneath the soil, leading to the tree pitching or swaying dramatically.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to splinter, but stays standing. This occurs most frequently on trees with highly disproportionate crowns. The entire crown basically transforms into a weather vane 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 standing, for now. Lightening hits have a number of secondary effects such as 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 substantially higher danger to drop even if it got through the initial storm.
