Taking Care Of Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact they are usually considered as being solid and eternal, trees can certainly come to be vulnerable in adverse weather like strong winds & storms. Fierce storms and very high winds have been known to decimate trees and rip even the healthiest and sturdiest trees from the soil, sending them plunging to the ground, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times shortly after a storm have you heard of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the inconvenience and danger it additionally will result in expensive renovations.

The toughest decision after a storm isn’t specifically how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty much simple. The tougher choice is whether some of the trees still upright are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been moderately injured in the storm might present a possible future risk and may have to be chopped down and removed to avoid putting property and people at risk in several months or years to come.

Some other trees could be conserved by being trimmed back, with their worst damaged sections being ‘severed’ similar to how an operating surgeon might amputate a gangrenous leg. Others will require to be staked with guy wires or supported 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 land on buildings, our tree contractors can be relied upon to take away the damaged trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the building companies easy access to the building to start restorations on the affected properties and power lines.

Various Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each one of these kinds of problem results in a different diagnosis for the trees’ long term survival, but making a diagnosis is a task ideally entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more liable to overlook a small detail that could differentiate one decision from another, like seeing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which reveals that the roots also snapped.

There are essentially 6 types of storm damage which a tree can’t typically endure:

• Blowovers – this is where the entire tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the earth, resulting in the crown to fall or bend violently whilst the lower section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree tear under the earth, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying considerably.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to split, but stays standing. This occurs most frequently on trees with highly lopsided crowns. The entire crown effectively turns into a weathervane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can not.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening hits have a lot of additional 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 much higher danger to fall despite the fact that it survived the initial storm.
