Taking Care Of Trees Damaged In A Storm

Although they are generally considered as being durable and permanent, trees may come to be defenceless in adverse weather such as strong winds and storms. Powerful storms and strong winds have been seen to wipe out trees and rip even the healthiest & sturdiest trees out of the soil, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times after a storm have you heard of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. In addition to the danger & inconvenience it additionally can result in expensive repairs.

The toughest option following a storm is not how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that’s fairly straightforward. The harder decision is if any of the trees remaining standing are salvageable.

Some trees that have been moderately damaged in the storm might pose a possible future threat and might have to be chopped down and disposed of to avoid putting people & property at risk in many months or years to come.

Other trees can be conserved by being pruned back, with their most cracked parts being ‘amputated’ exactly like how a surgeon might take off a gangrenous limb. Some other may require to be staked down with guy wires or supported with various 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 land on buildings, our tree professionals can be trusted to take away the broken trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the construction companies easy access to the building to begin maintenance and repairs on the affected buildings and power cables.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

All of these sorts of problem creates a different outlook for the trees’ future survival, but making a prognosis is a task ideally entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more liable to fail to notice a small detail that could differentiate one decision from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which signifies that the roots also snapped.

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

  • Blowovers – these are where the complete tree comes down.
  • Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the soil, making the trees crown to come down or sag strongly whilst the bottom part remains standing normally.
  • Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree tear underneath the soil, resulting in the tree leaning or swaying considerably.
  • Limb Failures – is where several limbs of the tree fall off.
  • Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to splinter, but stays up. This takes place most typically on trees with very disproportionate crowns. The complete crown essentially transforms into a weathervane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can not.
  • Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening hits have a lot of secondary effects including 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 substantially higher risk to fall despite the fact that it endured the initial storm.
