Taking Care Of Trees Damaged In A Storm

Although they’re typically considered as being durable and everlasting, trees can become defenceless in adverse weather like storms & strong winds. Powerful storms and very high winds have been seen to wipe out trees and rip even the healthiest and sturdiest trees from the soil, sending them crashing to the earth, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times shortly after a storm have you heard of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. In addition to the danger & inconvenience it additionally will cause costly renovations.

The toughest option following a windstorm isn’t how to remove the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is more or less straightforward. The harder choice is if some of the trees still standing can be saved.

Various trees that have been moderately damaged in the windstorm can present a possible future threat and might have to be cut down and took out to avoid putting people & property in danger in several months or even years to come.

Some other trees maybe conserved by being trimmed back, with their most cracked sections being ‘severed’ similar to how an operating surgeon may remove a gangrenous limb. Others will need to be staked with guy cables or held up with additional supports until they can re-develop the root structure they require to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on premises, our tree experts can be relied upon to clear away the damaged trees safely, quickly and efficiently to allow the building teams access to the building to begin maintenance and repairs on the damaged structures and power cables.

Various Sorts Of Storm Damage

All of these types of damage results in a distinct outlook for the trees’ potential survival, but making a diagnosis is a job best entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more going to miss a small detail that might just differentiate one conclusion from another, such as noticing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that reveals that the roots also snapped.

There are generally 6 types of storm damage that a tree can not generally sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the entire tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the ground, making the crown to fall or lean violently even though the bottom section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree split under the ground, leading to the tree leaning or swaying considerably.
• Limb Failures – is where several branches of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays standing. This happens most commonly on trees with highly disproportionate crowns. The entire crown essentially turns into a weathervane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening hits have a several secondary effects including opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a lightening-hit tree is typically at a considerably greater danger to fall even if it got through the initial windstorm.
