Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact that they’re typically viewed as being sturdy and everlasting, trees can easily become vulnerable in extreme weather conditions like strong winds & storms. Fierce storms and high winds have been seen to wipe out trees and rip even the healthiest and sturdiest trees out of the soil, sending them plunging to the earth, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times following a storm have you heard about dislodged branches and storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the inconvenience & danger it additionally can result in expensive repairs.

The toughest option following a storm is not how to dispose of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s fairly straightforward. The more difficult choice is whether or not any of the trees still standing are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been in part injured in the storm might present a potential hazard and may well have to be disassembled and took away to prevent putting people & property at risk in several months or even years ahead.

Some other trees might be conserved by being trimmed back, with their most affected sections being ‘cut off’ just like how an operating surgeon would amputate a gangrenous limb. Some other will need to be staked with guy cables or supported with various other supports until they can re-develop the root structure they require to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on property, our tree professionals can be trusted to remove the affected trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the building and construction companies access to the property to start repair work on the affected structures and power lines.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

All of these types of problem creates an unique outlook for the trees’ future survival, but forming a prognosis is a job best left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more liable to disregard a small detail that can separate 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 types of storm damage which a tree can’t usually sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the entire tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the earth, making the trees crown to come down or to sag strongly even though the bottom part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree crack underneath the earth, resulting in the tree bending or swaying considerably.
• Branch Failures – is where several limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays up. This takes place most typically on trees with highly lopsided crowns. The entire crown essentially transforms into a weather vane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind in a way that the trunk can not.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening hits have a many secondary effects such as opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a tree hit by lightening is always at a much higher danger to drop even if it made it through the initial storm.
