Taking Care Of Trees Damaged In A Storm

Even though they are typically considered as being really solid and eternal, trees can easily become vulnerable in adverse weather conditions like storms & strong winds. Intense storms and high winds have been seen to decimate trees and uplift even the sturdiest and healthiest trees out of the ground, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times after a storm have you heard about storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. In addition to the danger & inconvenience it also can cause costly repair work.

The hardest decision after a windstorm isn’t how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that is pretty much straightforward. The harder choice is if any of the trees still upright can be saved.

Some trees that have been partially affected in the windstorm can present a future threat and may well need to be disassembled and took out to avoid putting people and property at risk in many months or years in the future.

Other trees maybe saved by being pruned back, with their most injured parts being ‘severed’ similar to how a surgeon might take off a gangrenous limb. Some other will require to get staked down with guy wires or held up with other supports until they can re-develop the root structure they need to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on buildings, our tree experts can be trusted to clear away the damaged trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the building teams easy access to the property to begin restorations on the damaged structures and power lines.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

Each one of these types of damage creates a different outlook for the trees’ long term survival, however making a diagnosis is a job ideally left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more liable to fail to notice a small detail that might differentiate one verdict from another, like observing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which shows that the roots also snapped.

There are basically six forms of storm damage which a tree can not typically sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the entire tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the soil, resulting in the crown to come down or to angle violently even though the lower section stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree snap under the soil, resulting in the tree leaning or swinging significantly.
• Limb Failures – is where several limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to splinter, but stays standing. This occurs most typically on trees with extremely disproportionate crowns. The entire crown essentially becomes a weather vane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind flow in a manner in which 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 many additional effects such as massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a tree hit by lightening is always at a considerably greater risk to drop even if it endured the initial windstorm.
