Taking Care Of Trees Damaged In A Storm

Though they’re usually considered as being really durable and eternal, trees can end up being vulnerable in extreme weather conditions such as strong winds and storms. Intense storms and extreme winds have been known to wipe out trees and rip even the sturdiest & healthiest trees out of the soil, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times shortly after a storm have you heard of dislodged branches and storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the danger and inconvenience it additionally will cause expensive repair work.

The most difficult option following a storm isn’t how to remove the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is fairly simple. The more challenging possibility is if some of the trees left standing are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been in part affected in the windstorm can pose a possible future threat and may have to be chopped down and disposed of to prevent placing property and people at risk in several months or even years ahead.

Some other trees can be conserved by being trimmed back, with their worst cracked parts being ‘cut off’ just like how a surgeon might amputate a gangrenous limb. Others may require to be staked down with guy cables or held up with various other supports up until they can re-develop the root system they need to stand on their own.

Various Sorts Of Storm Damage

An unqualified amateur is far more liable to fail to notice a small detail that may separate one decision from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that suggests that the roots also snapped.

There are basically six sorts of storm damage that a tree can’t normally sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the entire tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the earth, causing the crown to come down or sag violently whilst the bottom part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree split beneath the earth, leading to the tree pitching or swinging considerably.
• Limb Failures – is where several branches of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to split, but stays up. This occurs most typically on trees with very lopsided crowns. The entire crown effectively transforms into a weather vane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening strikes have a many additional effects such as opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a tree hit by lightening is typically at a much increased risk to fall despite the fact that it made it through the original windstorm.
