Managing Trees Damaged In A Storm

Even though they’re usually viewed as being really sturdy and timeless, trees can certainly become vulnerable in extreme weather conditions such as storms & strong winds. Violent storms and strong winds have been known to wipe out trees and rip even the healthiest & sturdiest trees out of the soil, sending them crashing to the earth, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

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

The hardest decision following a windstorm is not specifically how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that is more or less simple. The more challenging choice is whether or not any of the trees left upright can be saved.

Some trees that have been partly damaged in the windstorm can pose a possible future threat and may well have to be cut down and removed to avoid putting property & people at risk in several months or even years in the future.

Other trees may be preserved by being pruned back, with their most damaged sections being ‘amputated’ just like how a surgeon will take off a gangrenous leg. Others may need to get staked with guy wires or held up with additional supports until they are able to re-develop the root structure they need to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on premises, our tree experts can be relied upon to remove the affected trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the building and construction crews access to the building to start restorations on the damaged buildings and power cables.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

All of these kinds of damage creates a different outlook for the trees’ potential survival, however forming a prognosis is a task ideally left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more liable to disregard a small detail that may differentiate one verdict from another, like noticing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that reveals that the roots also snapped.

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

• Blowovers – these are where the complete tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the earth, resulting in the crown to fall or sag violently even though the bottom part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree break beneath the earth, leading to the tree bending or swinging considerably.
• Limb Failures – is where several branches of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to split, but stays up. This happens most typically on trees with very unbalanced crowns. The complete crown essentially becomes a weathervane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a number of additional 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 very much greater risk to drop despite the fact that it survived the initial windstorm.
