Managing Trees Damaged In A Storm

Despite the fact they are generally seen as being sturdy and everlasting, trees may come to be vulnerable in adverse weather conditions like strong winds & storms. Intense storms and extreme winds have been seen to annihilate trees and rip even the healthiest & sturdiest trees from the ground, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

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

The most difficult decision after a storm isn’t how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is more or less easy. The tougher choice is if some of the trees remaining standing are salvageable.

Various trees that have been partly damaged in the storm can present a potential future hazard and may well need to be cut down and took away to avoid placing property & people in danger in several months or years ahead.

Other trees might be saved by being pruned back, with their worst injured parts being ‘severed’ much like how an operating surgeon may amputate a gangrenous leg.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each of these types of problem results in a varied prognosis for the trees’ future survival, however making a diagnosis is a task best entrusted to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more liable to disregard a small detail that might separate one decision from another, like noticing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that shows that the roots also snapped.

There are generally 6 forms of storm damage that a tree can not normally stand up to:

• Blowovers – this is where the whole tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the ground, resulting in the crown to fall or lean strongly even though the bottom part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree crack under the ground, leading to the tree leaning or swaying significantly.
• Limb Failures – is where several branches of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to splinter, but stays up. This happens most typically on trees with highly lopsided crowns. The whole crown ultimately transforms into a weathervane in a storm, turning to follow the wind in a way that the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening hits have a several secondary effects such as 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 substantially higher danger to drop even though it endured the original storm.
