Managing Trees Damaged In A Storm​

Even though they are often viewed as being strong and permanent, trees can certainly come to be defenceless in adverse weather conditions such as strong winds and storms. Intense storms and high winds have been known to decimate trees and rip even the healthiest and sturdiest trees from the soil, sending them plunging to the earth, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

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

The toughest decision following a windstorm isn’t how to deal with the trees that are definitely down, that’s more or less straightforward. The harder decision is whether or not any of the trees remaining standing are salvageable.

Various trees that have been partly damaged in the windstorm might pose a future hazard and might need to be disassembled and took away to prevent placing people and property in danger in many months or even years to come.

Other trees might be conserved by being pruned back, with their most damaged sections being ‘cut off’ just like how an operating surgeon may remove a gangrenous limb. Some other might need to get staked with guy ropes or held up with various other supports up until they can re-develop the root system they need to have to stand on their own.

Various Sorts Of Storm Damage

Every one of these kinds of problem creates a distinct diagnosis for the trees’ potential survival, but forming a prognosis is a job ideally left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more liable to fail to notice a small detail that might separate one conclusion from another, such as finding the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that suggests that the roots also failed.

There are generally six kinds of storm damage that a tree can not normally sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the full tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the ground, making the crown to come down or angle strongly while the lower section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree tear below the ground, leading to the tree bending or swaying dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where several limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to split, but stays standing. This happens most often on trees with highly lopsided crowns. The full crown essentially becomes a weathervane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind in a way that the trunk can not.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening strikes have a number of additional effects such as 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 very much higher danger to drop even though it survived the initial windstorm.
