Managing Storm Damaged Trees

Although they’re often taken as being strong and eternal, trees can certainly become at risk in adverse weather conditions like strong winds and storms. Fierce storms and strong winds have been seen to annihilate trees and tear even the sturdiest & healthiest trees out of the soil, sending them plunging to the earth, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times following strong winds 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 expensive restorations.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each one of these sorts of problem leads to an unique prognosis for the trees’ long term survival, but forming a diagnosis is a task ideally left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more liable to overlook a small detail that might just separate one conclusion from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that reveals that the roots also snapped.

There are essentially 6 forms of storm damage that a tree can’t typically sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the complete tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the ground, causing the trees crown to fall or angle strongly while the bottom section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree snap below the ground, resulting in the tree leaning or swaying considerably.
• Branch Failures – is where several limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to split, but stays up. This takes place most frequently on trees with very disproportionate crowns. The complete crown essentially ends up being a weathervane in a windstorm, 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 number of additional effects like massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a lightening-hit tree is always at a considerably greater danger to fall even though it endured the initial storm.
