Taking Care Of Storm Damaged Trees

Although they are usually seen as being durable and everlasting, trees can certainly come to be vulnerable in extreme weather such as storms & strong winds. Intense storms and strong winds have been known to decimate trees and rip even the healthiest & sturdiest trees from the soil, sending them crashing to the earth, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times shortly after a storm have you heard of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the danger & inconvenience it additionally can lead to expensive repair work.

The most difficult decision after a windstorm isn’t how to get rid of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty much simple. The more challenging choice is whether or not some of the trees left standing are salvageable.

Various trees that have been moderately harmed in the storm may well present a potential threat and may well have to be chopped down and took out to avoid placing property and people in danger in months or even years in the future.

Some other trees could be preserved by being trimmed back, with their worst affected parts being ‘amputated’ similar to how a surgeon would amputate a gangrenous leg. Others might need to get staked down with guy wires or supported with additional supports until they can re-develop the root structure they need to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on premises, our tree specialists can be relied upon to take away the affected trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the construction companies access to the building to start repairs on the affected buildings and power lines.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

Each of these types of damage leads to a different outlook for the trees’ potential survival, but forming a prognosis is a job best entrusted to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more going to disregard a small detail that might separate one verdict from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that indicates that the roots also snapped.

There are generally 6 forms of storm damage that a tree can’t generally stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the earth, resulting in the crown to come down or to lean violently whilst the bottom section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree break under the earth, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying significantly.
• 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 splinter, but stays up. This takes place most frequently on trees with extremely lopsided crowns. The whole crown effectively ends up being a weather vane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk can not.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening strikes have a lot of secondary effects like massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a lightening-hit tree is typically at a very much higher risk to fall even if it survived the initial storm.
