Managing Trees Damaged In A Storm

Though they’re usually seen as being durable and timeless, trees can easily come to be vulnerable in extreme weather like storms and strong winds. Intense storms and extreme winds have been known to wipe out 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 soon after strong winds have you heard of storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the inconvenience and danger it additionally may lead to costly repairs.

The toughest decision after a windstorm isn’t specifically how to get rid of the trees that are definitely down, that’s fairly simple. The tougher choice is if some of the trees left standing are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been in part injured in the windstorm can pose a potential future hazard and may well have to be disassembled and disposed of to prevent putting people and property at risk in several months or even years ahead.

Other trees could be conserved by being pruned back, with their worst affected parts being ‘severed’ exactly like how an operating surgeon will amputate a gangrenous limb. Some other might need to be staked with guy cables or supported with additional supports until they are able to re-develop the root system they have to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on property, our tree contractors can be trusted to take away the affected trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the building and construction crews easy access to the property to begin repair work on the affected buildings and power cables.

Various Kinds Of Storm Damage

All of these kinds of problem creates a varied outlook for the trees’ future survival, but making a diagnosis is a job ideally entrusted to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more likely to miss a small detail that might just separate one conclusion from another, such as noticing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which shows that the roots also failed.

There are basically 6 types of storm damage which a tree can’t usually stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the full tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the earth, resulting in the trees crown to fall or lean violently while the bottom section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree crack under the earth, leading to the tree pitching or swaying considerably.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to splinter, but stays standing. This occurs most frequently on trees with extremely unbalanced crowns. The full crown effectively ends up being a weathervane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening hits have a many 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 always at a very much greater danger to drop even if it made it through the initial windstorm.
