Managing Trees Damaged In A Storm

Even though they’re usually viewed as being strong and everlasting, trees may end up being vulnerable in adverse weather conditions such as strong winds & storms. Violent storms and extreme winds have been seen to wipe out trees and rip even the healthiest & sturdiest trees from the soil, sending them crashing to the earth, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times shortly after strong winds have you heard about storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. In addition to the danger and inconvenience it also may cause costly renovations.

The toughest decision following a storm isn’t how to remove the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s fairly straightforward. The harder decision is whether any of the trees remaining upright can be saved.

Various trees that have been partially affected in the storm can pose a possible future threat and might need to be disassembled and disposed of to avoid placing property & people in danger in many months or years in the future.

Other trees maybe preserved by being pruned back, with their worst affected sections being ‘amputated’ just like how a surgeon would take off a gangrenous limb. Others will need to be staked with guy cables or supported with additional supports up until they can re-develop the root structure they have to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on property, our tree specialists can be trusted to get rid of the damaged trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the building and construction crews access to the building to start repairs on the damaged buildings and power cables.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

Each one of these sorts of damage causes an unique diagnosis for the trees’ potential survival, but forming a prognosis is a task best entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more going to overlook a small detail that might differentiate one decision from another, such as noticing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that shows that the roots also snapped.

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

• Blowovers – this is where the whole tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the ground, causing the trees crown to come down or to lean strongly while the bottom section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree snap beneath the ground, leading to the tree leaning or swaying dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates enough to splinter, but stays standing. This happens most frequently on trees with extremely disproportionate crowns. The whole crown effectively transforms into a weathervane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can not.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening hits have a number of secondary effects like 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 substantially greater risk to drop even though it endured the initial storm.
