Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Though they are often seen as being sturdy and everlasting, trees may come to be defenceless in adverse weather such as strong winds & storms. Fierce storms and extreme winds have been known to wipe out trees and uplift even the healthiest and sturdiest trees out of the soil, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times after strong winds have you heard of dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the danger and inconvenience it also may lead to expensive repairs.

The most difficult option after a windstorm isn’t how to remove the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty much straightforward. The more challenging possibility is whether any of the trees left upright can be saved.

Certain trees that have been in part injured in the storm may well pose a potential hazard and may well need to be disassembled and took away to avoid putting property & people at risk in months or even years ahead.

Some other trees could be preserved by being trimmed back, with their most cracked sections being ‘cut off’ much like how a surgeon will remove a gangrenous limb. Others may need to get staked with guy cables or held up with additional supports until they are able to re-develop the root structure they have to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on premises, our tree professionals can be relied upon to clear away the injured trees efficiently, safely and quickly to allow the building crews easy access to the building to start repairs on the affected properties and power lines.

Various Kinds Of Storm Damage

Every one of these kinds of damage leads to a distinct prognosis for the trees’ future survival, but making a prognosis is a job ideally entrusted to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more going to miss a small detail that may separate one conclusion from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that signifies that the roots also snapped.

There are generally 6 forms of storm damage that a tree can’t generally endure:

• Blowovers – this is where the entire tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the ground, resulting in the trees crown to come down or to bend violently even though the lower part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree crack beneath the ground, resulting in the tree leaning or swaying noticeably.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays up. This occurs most commonly on trees with highly unbalanced crowns. The entire crown ultimately transforms into a weather vane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind 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 hits have a lot of secondary effects including massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a tree hit by lightening is typically at a substantially increased danger to fall despite the fact that it made it through the initial storm.
