Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Even though they are typically seen as being strong and permanent, trees can certainly come to be vulnerable in adverse weather such as strong winds and storms. Violent storms and extreme winds have been seen to annihilate trees and tear even the sturdiest & healthiest trees from the ground, sending them toppling to the earth, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

The hardest decision following a windstorm isn’t how to deal with the trees that are definitely down, that is more or less simple. The tougher choice is if any of the trees left upright are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been partly affected in the storm can present a potential threat and may well need to be chopped down and took out to prevent placing property & people at risk in several months or years in the future.

Some other trees may be saved by being pruned back, with their most damaged sections being ‘amputated’ similar to how a surgeon might take off a gangrenous limb. Some other will require to be staked down with guy ropes or supported with various other supports up until they are able to re-develop the root system they require to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on buildings, our tree specialists can be relied upon to take away the damaged trees efficiently, safely and quickly to allow the building and construction crews access to the building to begin maintenance and repairs on the damaged buildings and power cables.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

An unqualified amateur is far more going to miss a small detail that could separate one verdict from another, such as seeing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which suggests that the roots also snapped.

There are generally 6 types of storm damage which a tree can not usually stand up to:

  • Blowovers – this is where the complete tree falls down.
  • Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the soil, causing the trees crown to fall or to sag strongly while the lower section remains standing normally.
  • Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree split beneath the soil, resulting in the tree bending or swaying dramatically.
  • Limb Failures – is where several limbs of the tree break off.
  • Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to splinter, but stays standing. This takes place most frequently on trees with highly lopsided crowns. The complete crown effectively transforms into a weather vane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind in a way that the trunk can not.
  • Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a many secondary effects such as opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a tree hit by lightening is always at a substantially higher risk to drop even though it got through the original storm.
