If you have a fallen tree, or suspect that your tree has been damaged by lightning or a storm, it is a good idea to call a certified tree surgeon.

Though they are generally seen as being durable and permanent, trees may end up being at risk in adverse weather conditions such as storms & strong winds. Intense storms and strong winds have been seen to decimate trees and rip even the sturdiest & healthiest trees out of the ground, sending them smashing to the ground, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times shortly after a storm have you heard about storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. In addition to the inconvenience and danger it additionally can lead to costly repair work.

Some trees that have been in part damaged in the storm might present a possible future risk and may have to be chopped down and took away to prevent placing people and property at risk in many months or even years to come.

Some other trees might be preserved by being trimmed back, with their most cracked sections being ‘cut off’ just like how a surgeon will remove a gangrenous leg. Others may require to get staked down with guy cables or supported with other supports up until they are able to re-develop the root structure they need to have to stand on their own.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

Every one of these types of problem leads to an unique outlook for the trees’ long term survival, but making a prognosis is a task ideally entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more going to disregard a small detail that might just separate one conclusion from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which indicates that the roots also failed.

There are essentially six sorts of storm damage which a tree can not generally sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the full tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the soil, resulting in the crown to fall or sag violently whilst the bottom part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree crack underneath the soil, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying considerably.
• Branch Failures – is where several limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to splinter, but stays standing. This occurs most often on trees with highly lopsided crowns. The full crown effectively transforms into a weathervane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can not.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening hits have a several additional effects like massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a lightening-hit tree is typically at a much greater risk to drop even though it made it through the original storm.
