Handling Trees Damaged In A Storm

Though they’re often taken as being really strong and eternal, trees can end up being at risk in adverse weather such as storms and strong winds. Fierce storms and strong winds have been seen to wipe out trees and tear even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the soil, sending them plunging to the ground, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times shortly after strong winds have you heard of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. In addition to the inconvenience and danger it also can result in expensive renovations.

The most difficult option after a storm is not specifically how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s fairly simple. The more difficult possibility is if any of the trees left standing can be saved.

Some trees that have been partially harmed in the windstorm may present a possible future threat and might have to be cut down and took away to prevent placing property & people at risk in several months or years ahead.

Some other trees maybe saved by being pruned back, with their most injured sections being ‘cut off’ much like how an operating surgeon will amputate a gangrenous limb. Others might require to be staked with guy ropes or supported with other supports up until they can re-develop the root structure they need to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on premises, our tree specialists can be trusted to get rid of the broken trees safely, quickly and efficiently to allow the building and construction crews easy access to the building to begin restorations on the affected structures and power lines.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

Each of these sorts of damage results in an unique prognosis for the trees’ future survival, however forming a prognosis is a task best left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more going to overlook a small detail that might separate one verdict from another, like seeing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that suggests that the roots also failed.

There are basically six kinds of storm damage that a tree can’t usually sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the complete tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the earth, resulting in the trees crown to fall or to bend strongly while the lower part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree split beneath the earth, leading to the tree bending or swinging considerably.
• Limb Failures – is where several limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to split, but stays standing. This occurs most often on trees with highly unbalanced crowns. The complete crown ultimately becomes a weathervane in a storm, turning to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening hits have a lot 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 always at a much increased risk to fall even if it got through the original windstorm.
