Dealing With Trees Damaged In A Storm

Although they are usually viewed as being really strong and permanent, trees can easily become defenceless in extreme weather conditions like strong winds and storms. Violent storms and high winds have been seen to decimate trees and rip even the healthiest & sturdiest trees out of the soil, sending them smashing to the ground, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times shortly after strong winds have you heard of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Apart from the danger & inconvenience it additionally will cause costly repair work.

The toughest decision after a windstorm is not specifically how to remove the trees that are definitely down, that is fairly easy. The harder possibility is whether some of the trees still upright are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been in part damaged in the storm might pose a potential risk and may well need to be cut down and disposed of to avoid placing property & people in danger in several months or even years ahead.

Other trees might be preserved by being pruned back, with their worst injured sections being ‘cut off’ exactly like how a surgeon may amputate a gangrenous leg. Others might require to be staked down with guy wires or supported with various other supports up until they are able to re-develop the root system they need to stand on their own.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

Each one of these kinds of problem results in a different diagnosis for the trees’ future survival, but forming a prognosis is a task ideally left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more liable to miss a small detail that might separate one decision from another, like noticing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean which shows that the roots also snapped.

There are generally six kinds of storm damage which a tree can’t normally endure:

• Blowovers – this is where the entire tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the earth, resulting in the crown to come down or to sag violently even though the lower section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree split underneath the earth, resulting in the tree pitching or swinging dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays standing. This happens most often on trees with extremely disproportionate crowns. The entire crown effectively becomes a weathervane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind in a way that the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a lot of additional effects like massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a lightening-hit tree is always at a very much greater risk to fall despite the fact that it endured the original storm.
