Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees
{}Despite the fact that they’re often taken as being durable and everlasting, trees can become defenceless in adverse weather conditions like storms and strong winds. Violent storms and strong winds have been seen to annihilate trees and uplift even the healthiest & sturdiest trees out of the soil, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.
How many times soon after strong winds have you heard of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the inconvenience and danger it also can lead to costly repairs.
The most difficult decision after a storm isn’t how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty simple. The more difficult choice is whether any of the trees still standing are salvageable.
Various trees that have been partially damaged in the windstorm may pose a possible future risk and may have to be chopped down and disposed of to prevent putting people and property at risk in many months or years ahead.
Some other trees can be conserved by being trimmed back, with their worst affected parts being ‘amputated’ much like how an operating surgeon might take off a gangrenous leg. Others may need to be staked with guy cables or supported with other supports up until they are able to re-develop the root structure they require to stand on their own.
If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on premises, our tree contractors can be relied upon to take away the injured trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the building and construction crews easy access to the building to start maintenance and repairs on the affected buildings and power lines.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage
Each of these types of problem results in a varied diagnosis for the trees’ long term survival, but forming a diagnosis is a task best left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more likely to fail to notice a small detail that might just 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 generally 6 forms of storm damage that a tree can’t normally endure:
- Blowovers – these are where the complete tree falls down.
- Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the ground, leading to the trees crown to come down or lean strongly even though the lower part remains standing normally.
- Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree break under the ground, 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 disproportionate 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, at the moment. 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 drop despite the fact that it endured the initial windstorm.
