Managing Storm Damaged Trees

Although they are typically considered as being durable and eternal, trees can easily end up being at risk in adverse weather conditions like storms & strong winds. Powerful storms and extreme winds have been seen to decimate trees and uplift even the healthiest & sturdiest trees out of the soil, sending them smashing to the earth, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times after a storm have you heard about dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. Apart from the danger and inconvenience it also can lead to expensive repair work.

The hardest option after a windstorm is not how to dispose of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s fairly simple. The harder choice is whether or not any of the trees still upright are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been moderately affected in the storm may well pose a potential threat and might have to be chopped down and took away to avoid putting people and property at risk in many months or years ahead.

Other trees can be preserved by being trimmed back, with their worst affected parts being ‘amputated’ similar to how an operating surgeon would remove a gangrenous leg. Some other may need to be staked with guy wires or supported with various other supports up until they can re-develop the root structure they need to have to stand on their own.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

All of these kinds of problem results in a varied diagnosis for the trees’ long term survival, however making a diagnosis is a task best entrusted to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more likely to miss a small detail that might just separate one verdict from another, such as seeing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that signifies that the roots also failed.

There are essentially six types of storm damage that a tree can’t usually sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the entire tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the earth, causing the crown to fall or angle strongly whilst the bottom section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree split under the earth, resulting in the tree pitching or swinging noticeably.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to split, but stays standing. This occurs most typically on trees with highly unbalanced crowns. The entire crown ultimately transforms into a weather vane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening strikes have a many additional effects including opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a tree hit by lightening is always at a much greater risk to drop despite the fact that it got through the initial storm.
