Managing Storm Damaged Trees

Although they’re usually seen as being durable and timeless, trees can end up being at risk in extreme weather conditions such as storms and strong winds. Violent storms and very high winds have been seen to wipe out trees and uplift even the sturdiest and healthiest trees out of the soil, sending them smashing to the earth, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

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

The toughest decision following a storm is not specifically how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is pretty much straightforward. The more difficult decision is whether any of the trees left upright can be saved.

Certain trees that have been partially damaged in the windstorm can pose a potential threat and might need to be disassembled and took out to avoid putting people and property in danger in many months or even years to come.

Other trees maybe saved by being trimmed back, with their most damaged sections being ‘severed’ just like how an operating surgeon will take off a gangrenous limb. Some other might require to get staked down with guy wires or held up with other supports up until they can re-develop the root structure they have to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on property, our tree specialists can be relied upon to get rid of the affected trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the construction crews easy access to the property to start repairs on the affected properties and power cables.

Various Kinds Of Storm Damage

Each one of these kinds of problem results in a distinct diagnosis for the trees’ long term survival, but making a diagnosis is a job best left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more going to disregard a small detail that might just separate one conclusion from another, such as noticing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that suggests that the roots also snapped.

There are essentially six forms of storm damage that a tree can’t usually endure:

• Blowovers – this is where the full tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the earth, making the crown to fall or sag strongly while the bottom part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree break beneath the earth, leading to the tree bending or swinging noticeably.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to splinter, but stays up. This takes place most frequently on trees with extremely disproportionate crowns. The full crown essentially transforms into a weather vane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening hits have a lot of additional effects including 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 danger to drop despite the fact that it survived the initial windstorm.
