Dealing With Trees Damaged In A Storm

Though they’re usually taken as being durable and permanent, trees can end up being at risk in adverse weather like storms & strong winds. Intense storms and extreme winds have been known to wipe out trees and rip even the sturdiest & healthiest trees from the soil, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.
How many times after a storm have you heard of storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the inconvenience & danger it also can cause costly repair work.
The hardest decision following a storm isn’t how to deal with the trees that are definitely down, that is pretty straightforward. The more challenging possibility is whether any of the trees still upright are salvageable.
Various trees that have been in part affected in the windstorm may well present a potential future hazard and may well have to be chopped down and took away to prevent putting people and property in danger in months or even years to come.
Other trees could be saved by being pruned back, with their most cracked parts being ‘cut off’ just like how a surgeon may amputate a gangrenous leg. Some other may require to be staked with guy cables or held up with various other supports until they are able to re-develop the root structure they have to have to stand on their own.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage
Each of these types of problem results in a varied prognosis for the trees’ long term survival, however making a diagnosis is a task ideally entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more liable to disregard a small detail that may differentiate one conclusion from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that signifies that the roots also snapped.
There are basically six kinds of storm damage that a tree can’t generally sustain:
- Blowovers – this is where the whole tree comes down.
- Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the soil, resulting in the trees crown to fall or bend strongly even though the lower section continues to be standing normally.
- Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree snap under the soil, resulting in the tree bending or swinging considerably.
- Branch Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree fall off.
- Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns enough to splinter, but stays standing. This happens most commonly on trees with highly lopsided crowns. The whole crown effectively ends up being a weathervane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk is unable to.
- Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening hits have a lot of secondary effects such as massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a tree hit by lightening is typically at a very much increased risk to drop even if it survived the initial windstorm.
