Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

{}Despite the fact that they’re often taken as being durable and eternal, trees can become defenceless in extreme weather conditions such as storms and strong winds. Violent storms and high winds have been seen to annihilate trees and uplift even the healthiest & sturdiest trees out of the soil, sending them plunging to the ground, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times soon after strong winds have you heard about dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. Apart from the inconvenience and danger it also can cause costly repair work.

The most difficult decision after a storm isn’t how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is pretty easy. The more difficult possibility is whether any of the trees still standing are salvageable.

Various trees that have been partially injured in the windstorm may present a future risk and may have to be chopped down and took away to prevent placing people and property at risk in several months or years ahead.

Other trees maybe saved by being pruned back, with their worst affected sections being ‘amputated’ much like how an operating surgeon may take off a gangrenous leg. Others may require to be staked with guy wires or supported with other supports up until they are able to re-develop the root structure they require to stand on their own.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

Each of these types of problem results in a varied diagnosis for the trees’ potential survival, but making a prognosis is a task best left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more likely to fail to notice a small detail that could separate 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 essentially 6 forms of storm damage that a tree can not generally endure:

  • Blowovers – these are where the complete tree comes down.
  • Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the soil, causing the trees crown to come down or to lean strongly even though the lower part remains standing normally.
  • Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree break under the soil, resulting in the tree leaning or swinging considerably.
  • Limb Failures – is where several limbs of the tree break off.
  • Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays up. This occurs most typically on trees with extremely unbalanced crowns. The complete crown effectively becomes a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can’t.
  • Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening hits have a many additional effects like massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a tree hit by lightening is always at a much greater risk to fall despite the fact that it endured the original windstorm.
