Handling Storm Damaged Trees

Though they are generally considered as being strong and eternal, trees may end up being vulnerable in extreme weather such as storms and strong winds. Powerful storms and strong winds have been known to annihilate trees and rip even the sturdiest and healthiest trees out of the ground, sending them smashing to the ground, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times after a storm have you heard about dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the inconvenience and danger it also will lead to expensive renovations.

The toughest decision following a storm isn’t how to remove the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty much straightforward. The tougher choice is whether some of the trees remaining upright are salvageable.

Some trees that have been in part affected in the storm may well present a potential future hazard and may have to be disassembled and removed to avoid putting property & people in danger in several months or even years ahead.

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

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on premises, our tree experts can be relied upon to get rid of the damaged trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the construction teams access to the building to start maintenance and repairs on the damaged structures and power cables.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

Each one of these kinds of damage creates an unique diagnosis for the trees’ long term survival, but forming a diagnosis is a task ideally entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more liable to overlook a small detail that can separate one decision from another, such as seeing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that suggests that the roots also failed.

There are essentially 6 forms of storm damage that a tree can’t generally endure:

• Blowovers – these are where the entire tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the soil, causing the crown to come down or to angle violently even though the lower part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree tear beneath the soil, leading to the tree bending or swaying noticeably.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns enough to splinter, but stays up. This happens most frequently on trees with extremely unbalanced crowns. The entire crown effectively becomes a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening hits have a several secondary effects including massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a lightening-hit tree is typically at a very much increased risk to drop even though it endured the original storm.
