Dealing With Trees Damaged In A Storm

Even though they’re often considered as being strong and permanent, trees can certainly end up being defenceless in adverse weather like storms & strong winds. Fierce storms and strong winds have been known to decimate trees and uplift even the sturdiest & healthiest trees from the ground, sending them smashing to the earth, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times 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 repairs.

The most difficult decision after a storm isn’t how to remove the trees that are definitely down, that’s pretty simple. The more difficult choice is whether or not any of the trees left standing are salvageable.

Some trees that have been in part affected in the windstorm may pose a future risk and may have to be cut down and took out to prevent placing people & property in danger in many months or years in the future.

Some other trees may be preserved by being pruned back, with their worst cracked sections being ‘amputated’ much like how a surgeon might remove a gangrenous limb.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

Every one of these types of damage leads to a varied outlook for the trees’ potential survival, however forming a diagnosis is a task ideally left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more likely to overlook a small detail that could differentiate one conclusion from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that signifies that the roots also failed.

There are generally six forms of storm damage that a tree can’t typically endure:

• Blowovers – this is where the full tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the ground, resulting in the crown to come down or to lean strongly whilst the bottom part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree split below the ground, resulting in the tree leaning or swinging dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to split, but stays standing. This occurs most frequently on trees with highly unbalanced crowns. The full crown effectively turns into a weather vane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk can not.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening strikes have a number of secondary effects like opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a lightening-hit tree is typically at a much higher danger to drop even if it made it through the initial windstorm.
