Managing Trees Damaged In A Storm

Though they’re often viewed as being solid and permanent, trees may become at risk in adverse weather conditions such as storms and strong winds. Powerful storms and very high winds have been known to annihilate trees and tear even the healthiest and sturdiest trees from the ground, sending them crashing to the earth, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times soon after strong winds have you heard about storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the inconvenience & danger it also may lead to costly renovations.

The hardest option after a storm isn’t how to remove the trees that are definitely down, that is more or less straightforward. The harder possibility is whether any of the trees left upright can be saved.

Various trees that have been partly affected in the storm might pose a potential future hazard and might need to be chopped down and took out to prevent placing property and people in danger in several months or even years to come.

Other trees might be conserved by being trimmed back, with their worst affected sections being ‘amputated’ much like how an operating surgeon might remove a gangrenous leg. Some other may require to get staked with guy wires or supported with other supports until they are able to re-develop the root structure they need to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on property, our tree experts can be relied upon to remove the broken trees safely, quickly and efficiently to allow the building teams access to the building to start repairs on the affected properties and power lines.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

Every one of these sorts of damage leads to a varied diagnosis for the trees’ potential survival, but forming a prognosis is a task best entrusted to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more liable to miss a small detail that might differentiate one decision from another, like noticing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that indicates that the roots also snapped.

There are generally six kinds of storm damage that a tree can’t typically stand up to:

• Blowovers – this is where the whole tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the soil, resulting in the crown to come down or to bend violently even though the bottom section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree tear beneath the soil, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying significantly.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays standing. This happens most typically on trees with very disproportionate crowns. The whole crown effectively turns into 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 standing, for now. Lightening strikes have a many secondary effects like opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a lightening-hit tree is always at a substantially higher danger to fall despite the fact that it survived the original storm.
