Managing Storm Damaged Trees

Although they are generally taken as being strong and permanent, trees may come to be vulnerable in adverse weather like storms and strong winds. Intense storms and extreme winds have been seen to wipe out trees and rip even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the ground, sending them smashing to the earth, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

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

The most difficult option following a storm isn’t specifically how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is more or less simple. The more challenging decision is whether any of the trees still standing are salvageable.

Various trees that have been partially injured in the storm may well pose a potential threat and might need to be disassembled and took away to prevent putting people & property in danger in several months or even years ahead.

Other trees might be saved by being trimmed back, with their worst damaged parts being ‘amputated’ similar to how an operating surgeon may amputate a gangrenous leg. Others will need to be staked down with guy ropes or supported with various other supports up until they can re-develop the root structure they need to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on property, our tree professionals can be relied upon to clear away the damaged trees safely, quickly and efficiently to allow the building teams access to the property to begin restorations on the affected buildings and power lines.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

All of these sorts of damage causes a distinct diagnosis for the trees’ potential survival, however making a diagnosis is a job ideally entrusted to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more going to disregard a small detail that can differentiate one conclusion from another, such as noticing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which indicates that the roots also failed.

There are essentially 6 forms of storm damage which a tree can not typically stand up to:

• Blowovers – this is where the complete tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the ground, causing the trees crown to fall or bend strongly even though the lower section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree split below the ground, resulting in the tree leaning or swaying considerably.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays standing. This occurs most typically on trees with very lopsided crowns. The complete crown essentially turns into a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind in a way that the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening strikes have a many 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 typically at a substantially higher risk to drop even though it made it through the original storm.
