Managing Trees Damaged In A Storm

Even though they are generally taken as being durable and everlasting, trees can certainly end up being defenceless in adverse weather such as strong winds & storms. Violent storms and high winds have been known to decimate trees and tear even the sturdiest & healthiest trees out of the soil, sending them toppling to the earth, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

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

The hardest decision after a storm isn’t specifically how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s fairly simple. The tougher decision is if any of the trees still upright are salvageable.

Various trees that have been partly injured in the windstorm may present a potential threat and may well have to be chopped down and took out to avoid putting property and people in danger in months or years in the future.

Other trees can be preserved by being pruned back, with their worst injured parts being ‘cut off’ similar to how an operating surgeon may remove a gangrenous limb. Others might need to get staked with guy wires or supported with various other supports until they can re-develop the root structure they have to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on buildings, our tree specialists can be trusted to clear away the damaged trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the construction teams easy access to the building to start maintenance and repairs on the affected structures and power lines.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

Each one of these sorts of problem causes a varied outlook for the trees’ potential survival, however forming a diagnosis is a task best left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more likely to miss a small detail that may differentiate one verdict from another, like observing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that signifies that the roots also failed.

There are basically six types of storm damage that a tree can not generally sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the full tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the earth, making the trees crown to come down or to lean violently while the bottom part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree snap under the earth, leading to the tree pitching or swaying dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where several limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays up. This takes place most commonly on trees with highly lopsided crowns. The full crown basically ends up being a weathervane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind in a way that the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening strikes 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 always at a considerably higher risk to fall despite the fact that it endured the initial windstorm.
