Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact they are often considered as being really strong and timeless, trees can end up being defenceless in extreme weather conditions like storms & strong winds. Intense storms and extreme winds have been seen to annihilate trees and uplift even the healthiest & sturdiest trees out of the ground, sending them crashing to the earth, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times soon after strong winds have you heard of dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the inconvenience & danger it additionally will lead to expensive repairs.

The hardest decision following a windstorm isn’t how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is more or less straightforward. The tougher decision is whether some of the trees left upright can be saved.

Various trees that have been partly affected in the storm may present a future risk and may well have to be cut down and took out to prevent putting people and property in danger in many months or years to come.

Other trees can be saved by being trimmed back, with their worst damaged parts being ‘cut off’ just like how an operating surgeon will amputate a gangrenous leg. Some other might need to get staked with guy wires or held up with additional supports up until they can re-develop the root system they have to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on buildings, our tree contractors can be trusted to get rid of the injured trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the building companies access to the property to start repair work on the affected buildings and power lines.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

Each one of these types of damage results in a distinct prognosis for the trees’ long term survival, however making a prognosis is a task ideally left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more likely to overlook a small detail that might separate one decision from another, like observing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which indicates that the roots also failed.

There are essentially six kinds of storm damage which a tree can not usually endure:

• Blowovers – this is where the full tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the earth, causing the trees crown to fall or sag strongly while the bottom section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree crack under the earth, resulting in the tree leaning or swinging noticeably.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to splinter, but stays standing. This takes place most typically on trees with highly disproportionate crowns. The full crown effectively transforms into a weather vane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a many secondary 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 higher danger to fall despite the fact that it survived the original storm.
