Managing Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact they are usually taken as being durable and permanent, trees can become defenceless in extreme weather such as storms and strong winds. Violent storms and very high winds have been seen to annihilate trees and rip even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the soil, sending them smashing to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

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

The toughest decision after a windstorm is not specifically how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty much easy. The harder choice is whether some of the trees still standing are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been in part affected in the windstorm may pose a potential future hazard and may well have to be disassembled and disposed of to prevent placing property and people in danger in months or years ahead.

Some other trees might be preserved by being pruned back, with their most affected parts being ‘severed’ similar to how a surgeon may remove a gangrenous limb. Others 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 structure they need to have to stand on their own.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each one of these types of problem results in a different prognosis for the trees’ potential survival, however making a diagnosis is a job best left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more liable to fail to notice a small detail that might differentiate one verdict from another, like noticing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that suggests that the roots also snapped.

There are essentially six types of storm damage that a tree can’t typically endure:

• Blowovers – these are where the entire tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the ground, making the crown to fall or sag strongly even though the bottom part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree tear underneath the ground, leading to the tree pitching or swinging dramatically.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to splinter, but stays standing. This happens most typically on trees with extremely unbalanced crowns. The entire crown ultimately becomes a weathervane in a windstorm, twisting 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 standing, at the moment. Lightening hits have a number of secondary effects including opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a tree hit by lightening is typically at a much greater danger to fall despite the fact that it endured the initial windstorm.
