Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact they’re usually taken as being really strong and eternal, trees can easily come to be vulnerable in adverse weather conditions like strong winds and storms. Violent storms and strong winds have been known to decimate trees and tear even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the soil, sending them plunging to the earth, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times shortly after strong winds have you heard about storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Apart from the danger and inconvenience it additionally will cause costly renovations.

The most difficult decision after a storm isn’t specifically how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is pretty easy. The more challenging choice is if some of the trees remaining upright can be saved.

Certain trees that have been partially damaged in the storm may well present a potential threat and may have to be cut down and disposed of to prevent putting property & people in danger in months or even years ahead.

Some other trees maybe preserved by being pruned back, with their worst affected sections being ‘amputated’ similar to how a surgeon would amputate a gangrenous leg. Others might need to be staked with guy ropes or supported with various other supports up until they are able to re-develop the root system they have to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree professionals can be relied upon to take away the injured trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the building companies access to the building to start restorations on the affected properties and power cables.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

All of these sorts of damage creates a varied prognosis for the trees’ potential survival, however forming a prognosis is a job best left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more liable to fail to notice a small detail that can separate one conclusion from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which reveals that the roots also failed.

There are basically 6 types of storm damage which a tree can’t usually sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the full tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the ground, resulting in the crown to fall or bend violently whilst the lower part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree crack beneath the ground, resulting in the tree bending or swaying dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns enough to splinter, but stays standing. This happens most commonly on trees with very unbalanced crowns. The full crown basically turns into a weathervane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind in a way that the trunk can not.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening hits have a lot of additional effects such as 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 considerably greater danger to fall even though it made it through the initial storm.
