Managing Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact that they are generally seen as being sturdy and permanent, trees can certainly become vulnerable in adverse weather conditions like strong winds and storms. Intense storms and strong winds have been seen to annihilate trees and tear even the healthiest and sturdiest trees out of the ground, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times shortly after strong winds have you heard about storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Apart from the danger and inconvenience it also can cause expensive repair work.

The toughest decision following a storm isn’t how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s more or less straightforward. The harder possibility is whether or not some of the trees still upright can be saved.

Some trees that have been partly harmed in the windstorm might present a potential future hazard and may well need to be cut down and removed to avoid placing property & people in danger in many months or years ahead.

Other trees could be conserved by being pruned back, with their worst affected parts being ‘severed’ just like how a surgeon might remove a gangrenous leg. Some other might require to get staked down with guy ropes or supported with various other supports until they are able to re-develop the root system they require to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on property, our tree professionals can be trusted to clear away the affected trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the building companies access to the property to start maintenance and repairs on the damaged buildings and power cables.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

Each of these sorts of problem results in a distinct prognosis for the trees’ long term survival, but making a diagnosis is a job best entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more likely to disregard a small detail that may differentiate one verdict from another, such as seeing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which suggests that the roots also failed.

There are basically six forms of storm damage which a tree can’t usually endure:

• Blowovers – this is where the whole tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the ground, resulting in the crown to come down or bend strongly while the lower section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree split below the ground, leading to the tree leaning or swinging considerably.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays up. This occurs most often on trees with very lopsided crowns. The whole crown essentially becomes a weathervane in a storm, turning to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening hits have a several secondary effects including opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a lightening-hit tree is typically at a substantially increased risk to fall even though it survived the original windstorm.
