Handling Storm Damaged Trees
Although they are often considered as being durable and everlasting, trees can end up being defenceless in extreme weather conditions like storms & strong winds.

How many times soon after strong winds have you heard of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. In addition to the inconvenience & danger it additionally may result in costly repairs.
The toughest option following a storm is not how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that’s fairly straightforward. The harder possibility is whether or not some of the trees left standing can be saved.
Some trees that have been in part injured in the windstorm can pose a potential risk and may have to be disassembled and took away to prevent placing people and property at risk in months or even years ahead.
Other trees could be preserved by being pruned back, with their worst affected sections being ‘amputated’ exactly like how an operating surgeon may take off a gangrenous limb. Some other may require to get staked with guy cables or supported with additional supports until they are able to re-develop the root structure they require to stand on their own.
If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on property, our tree specialists can be trusted to clear away the injured trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the building companies access to the property to start repair work on the damaged properties and power lines.
Different Types Of Storm Damage
Each of these kinds of problem results in a distinct prognosis for the trees’ long term survival, however forming a diagnosis is a task best entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more liable to fail to notice a small detail that might differentiate one conclusion from another, such as noticing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which indicates that the roots also snapped.
There are essentially 6 types of storm damage which a tree can not generally stand up to:
- Blowovers – these are where the whole tree is uprooted.
- Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the soil, causing the crown to fall or angle strongly whilst the lower part stays standing normally.
- Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree crack below the soil, leading to the tree bending or swaying dramatically.
- Branch Failures – is where several limbs of the tree detach.
- Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to splinter, but stays standing. This happens most commonly on trees with highly lopsided crowns. The whole crown essentially transforms into a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind in a way that the trunk can not.
- Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening hits have a number of additional effects such as 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 higher danger to fall even if it survived the original windstorm.
