Managing Trees Damaged In A Storm​

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

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

The toughest decision following a storm is not how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that is more or less simple. The harder decision is whether or not any of the trees remaining standing are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been moderately harmed in the windstorm may well pose a future hazard and might need to be disassembled and took away to prevent placing people and property in danger in several 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 wires 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 Kinds Of Storm Damage

Every one of these kinds of problem creates an unique diagnosis for the trees’ long term survival, but forming a prognosis is a job ideally left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more liable to overlook a small detail that could differentiate one decision from another, like noticing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that signifies that the roots also failed.

There are basically six kinds of storm damage that a tree can’t generally sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the full tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the soil, making the crown to come down or angle strongly whilst the lower section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree tear beneath the soil, leading to the tree bending or swaying dramatically.
• Branch Failures – is where several limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates enough to splinter, but stays up. This happens most often on trees with highly disproportionate crowns. The full crown basically ends up being a weathervane in a storm, turning to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk can not.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a many additional effects including 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 very much increased danger to drop even though it endured the original windstorm.
