Dealing With Trees Damaged In A Storm

Although they are generally considered as being really strong and permanent, trees may come to be at risk in adverse weather conditions such as storms and strong winds. Fierce storms and very high winds have been seen to wipe out trees and rip even the healthiest and sturdiest trees out of the ground, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times following strong winds have you heard of dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the danger & inconvenience it also may result in expensive repairs.

The toughest option after a windstorm is not specifically how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s fairly easy. The tougher possibility is whether or not any of the trees still upright are salvageable.

Various trees that have been partly damaged in the windstorm might pose a future risk and might have to be disassembled and removed to avoid placing property & people at risk in months or years ahead.

Other trees might be conserved by being trimmed back, with their most affected parts being ‘severed’ similar to how a surgeon will amputate a gangrenous limb. Others may need to be staked down with guy cables or supported with various other 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 land on property, our tree contractors can be relied upon to remove the broken trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the building companies easy access to the building to start maintenance and repairs on the damaged structures and power cables.

Various Sorts Of Storm Damage

All of these types of damage results in a varied diagnosis for the trees’ potential survival, however forming a prognosis is a job best entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more going to overlook a small detail that may separate one verdict from another, such as noticing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which shows that the roots also snapped.

There are basically 6 types of storm damage which a tree can not usually sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the whole tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the earth, causing the crown to fall or bend strongly even though the lower section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree split below the earth, leading to the tree pitching or swaying significantly.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to split, but stays up. This occurs most often on trees with highly lopsided crowns. The whole crown essentially transforms into a weathervane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk can not.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening hits have a lot of additional 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 substantially greater risk to fall even though it endured the original windstorm.
