Managing Trees Damaged In A Storm

Though they’re generally viewed as being sturdy and eternal, trees can easily become vulnerable in extreme weather conditions such as strong winds & storms. Violent storms and extreme winds have been known to decimate trees and uplift even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the ground, sending them plunging to the ground, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times shortly after a storm have you heard about storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the inconvenience & danger it additionally will cause costly repairs.

The hardest option after a storm isn’t how to remove the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is pretty straightforward. The harder decision is whether any of the trees still standing can be saved.

Certain trees that have been moderately injured in the storm might pose a future hazard and may well need to be cut down and took away to avoid placing property and people at risk in many months or even years in the future.

Some other trees maybe preserved by being pruned back, with their most damaged sections being ‘amputated’ exactly like how a surgeon may take off a gangrenous limb. Others might need to get staked with guy wires or held up with various other supports until they can re-develop the root structure they need to stand on their own.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

All of these kinds of problem creates a distinct diagnosis for the trees’ potential survival, however forming a diagnosis is a task ideally left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more likely to fail to notice a small detail that may well differentiate one verdict from another, such as finding the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that shows that the roots also failed.

There are basically six types of storm damage that a tree can’t usually stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the complete tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the ground, making the trees crown to fall or sag violently even though the bottom part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree snap under the ground, resulting in the tree pitching or swinging noticeably.
• Branch Failures – is where several limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to split, but stays standing. This happens most often on trees with very disproportionate crowns. The complete crown basically transforms into a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind 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 hits have a lot of 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 typically at a much higher risk to fall despite the fact that it made it through the initial storm.
