Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage

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. Untrained persons should never attempt to deal with a tree that has fallen because of all the objects that might be under or around it and any live power lines. Tree surgeons are highly skilled and have the experience to properly remove any tree damage.

Handling Trees Damaged In A Storm

Despite the fact that they’re usually seen as being really strong and eternal, trees can end up being vulnerable in extreme weather like storms and strong winds. Fierce storms and extreme winds have been seen to decimate trees and tear even the sturdiest & healthiest trees from the ground, sending them smashing to the earth, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times after a storm have you heard about dislodged branches and storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the inconvenience & danger it additionally may cause expensive repairs.

The most difficult decision after a storm isn’t specifically how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that’s more or less easy. The more difficult decision is whether or not some of the trees remaining standing are salvageable.

Various trees that have been partly damaged in the windstorm might present a possible future hazard and may have to be chopped down and took away to avoid placing people and property at risk in many months or years ahead.

Some other trees maybe conserved by being trimmed back, with their worst damaged sections being ‘cut off’ much like how an operating surgeon may remove a gangrenous limb. Others might need to be staked down with guy cables or held up with various other supports up until they are able to re-develop the root system they need to have to stand on their own.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

Each one of these sorts of damage results in a varied outlook for the trees’ potential survival, however making a prognosis is a task best left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more likely to overlook a small detail that may differentiate one verdict from another, such as finding the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean which shows that the roots also failed.

There are generally 6 kinds of storm damage which a tree can’t usually stand up to:

• Blowovers – this is where the entire tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the soil, making the trees crown to fall or to angle strongly whilst the bottom part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree snap beneath the soil, leading to the tree pitching or swinging significantly.
• Limb Failures – is where several limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates enough to splinter, but stays up. This occurs most typically on trees with very lopsided crowns. The entire crown essentially transforms into a weathervane in a storm, turning to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening hits have a several additional effects like 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 substantially increased danger to drop even though it endured the initial windstorm.
