Taking Care Of Trees Damaged In A Storm

Even though they’re often seen as being really sturdy and timeless, trees can become defenceless in adverse weather like storms & strong winds. Powerful storms and extreme winds have been seen to decimate trees and tear even the healthiest and sturdiest trees from the soil, sending them crashing to the earth, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times shortly after strong winds have you heard of dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the danger and inconvenience it additionally may cause costly repair work.

The hardest decision after a windstorm isn’t how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s more or less simple. The more challenging choice is if some of the trees left upright are salvageable.

Various trees that have been in part affected in the storm may pose a potential future threat and might need to be disassembled and took out to prevent placing property and people in danger in months or even years ahead.

Other trees may be saved by being pruned back, with their most damaged sections being ‘amputated’ much like how a surgeon might amputate a gangrenous leg. Others may need to get staked with guy ropes or held up with various other supports up until they are able to re-develop the root system they need to stand on their own.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

An unqualified nonprofessional is much more liable to fail to notice a small detail that can differentiate one decision from another, like observing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which reveals that the roots also snapped.

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

• Blowovers – this is where the entire tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the soil, resulting in the crown to fall or sag strongly while the lower part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree snap under the soil, leading to the tree bending or swinging significantly.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to splinter, but stays up. This occurs most commonly on trees with highly unbalanced crowns. The entire crown basically transforms into a weather vane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind in a way that the trunk can not.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening hits have a number of secondary effects such as opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a lightening-hit tree is always at a considerably higher danger to drop despite the fact that it made it through the initial storm.
