Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Though they are typically viewed as being really durable and permanent, trees may come to be defenceless in extreme weather conditions such as storms & strong winds. Powerful storms and strong winds have been seen to annihilate trees and tear even the healthiest & sturdiest trees out of the ground, sending them smashing to the ground, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times following a storm have you heard of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the danger and inconvenience it also can cause costly restorations.

The most difficult option following a storm isn’t specifically how to remove the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is pretty much simple. The more challenging choice is whether or not any of the trees left standing are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been partly harmed in the storm can present a future risk and may well have to be cut down and disposed of to avoid putting property & people in danger in many months or years in the future.

Some other trees may be conserved by being pruned back, with their most affected parts being ‘amputated’ just like how an operating surgeon will remove a gangrenous leg. Some other might require to get staked down with guy cables or supported with various other supports up until they can re-develop the root structure they need to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree contractors can be trusted to take away the affected trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the building and construction teams access to the property to begin repairs on the damaged structures and power lines.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

Each of these types of problem creates a distinct outlook for the trees’ long term survival, but forming a prognosis is a job best left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more liable to fail to notice a small detail that could differentiate one conclusion from another, such as seeing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that suggests that the roots also failed.

There are basically 6 forms of storm damage that a tree can not typically sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the entire tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the soil, leading to the trees crown to fall or to angle strongly whilst the lower section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree tear beneath the soil, leading to the tree leaning or swaying noticeably.
• Limb Failures – is where several limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to split, but stays up. This happens most typically on trees with extremely lopsided crowns. The entire crown basically turns into a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can not.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening hits have a number of secondary 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 typically at a very much greater danger to drop even though it made it through the original storm.
