Managing Trees Damaged In A Storm

Despite the fact they are often taken as being sturdy and eternal, trees can certainly become defenceless in adverse weather conditions like strong winds and storms. Powerful storms and strong winds have been seen to decimate trees and tear even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the soil, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

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

The hardest decision following a windstorm isn’t how to dispose of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is pretty simple. The more difficult choice is if some of the trees still upright are salvageable.

Various trees that have been moderately harmed in the windstorm might present a possible future threat and may need to be cut down and disposed of to avoid putting people & property in danger in months or even years to come.

Other trees maybe conserved by being trimmed back, with their most injured parts being ‘amputated’ exactly like how a surgeon might remove a gangrenous limb. Others may need to be staked with guy cables or held up with various other supports until they are able to re-develop the root structure they need to have to stand on their own.

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

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

All of these types of problem creates a distinct prognosis for the trees’ long term survival, however making a diagnosis is a job best left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more going to disregard a small detail that might just separate one verdict from another, like seeing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which indicates that the roots also failed.

There are basically six sorts of storm damage which a tree can’t usually stand up to:

• Blowovers – this is where the complete tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the soil, resulting in the trees crown to come down or to lean strongly whilst the bottom section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree split underneath the soil, leading to the tree bending or swinging considerably.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to split, but stays up. This happens most often on trees with very lopsided crowns. The complete crown ultimately becomes a weather vane 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, for now. Lightening strikes have a number of additional effects such as opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a lightening-hit tree is always at a much higher danger to fall even if it survived the initial windstorm.
