Taking Care Of Trees Damaged In A Storm

Even though they’re generally seen as being solid and eternal, trees can become defenceless in adverse weather conditions such as storms and strong winds. Violent storms and very high winds have been seen to decimate trees and tear even the sturdiest and healthiest trees out of the ground, sending them smashing to the earth, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times shortly after strong winds have you heard of storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. In addition to the inconvenience and danger it also can lead to costly restorations.

The toughest decision after a storm is not specifically how to deal with the trees that are definitely down, that’s pretty much easy. The tougher decision is whether or not any of the trees left upright can be saved.

Certain trees that have been in part affected in the windstorm may pose a potential hazard and may well need to be chopped down and removed to avoid putting people and property in danger in months or even years to come.

Other trees may be preserved by being pruned back, with their worst injured parts being ‘amputated’ similar to how a surgeon would remove a gangrenous limb. Others will require to be staked down with guy wires or held up with additional supports until they are able to re-develop the root structure they need to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree experts can be relied upon to get rid of the injured trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the building companies easy access to the property to begin repairs on the affected structures and power cables.

Various Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each of these kinds of damage creates a varied diagnosis for the trees’ potential survival, but making a diagnosis is a job ideally entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more liable to fail to notice a small detail that can separate one decision from another, such as finding the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which reveals that the roots also failed.

There are essentially six kinds of storm damage which a tree can’t normally stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the full tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the ground, causing the crown to come down or bend violently even though the lower part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree tear under the ground, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying significantly.
• Limb Failures – is where several branches of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns enough to splinter, but stays up. This takes place most typically on trees with very lopsided crowns. The full crown effectively transforms into a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind in a way that the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening hits have a number of 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 considerably increased danger to fall even though it survived the original windstorm.
