Taking Care Of Storm Damaged Trees
{}Although they’re usually seen as being sturdy and eternal, trees can become vulnerable in extreme weather like storms & strong winds. Intense storms and strong winds have been seen to wipe out trees and rip even the healthiest & sturdiest trees out of the soil, sending them toppling to the earth, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.
How many times following strong winds have you heard of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Apart from the inconvenience and danger it also may cause costly repair work.
The most difficult option following a storm isn’t how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s more or less easy. The harder decision is whether some of the trees left upright can be saved.
Various trees that have been moderately affected in the windstorm might pose a potential future risk and might have to be disassembled and took out to avoid placing people & property in danger in several months or even years to come.
Other trees might be conserved by being trimmed back, with their worst damaged sections being ‘severed’ similar to how an operating surgeon might take off a gangrenous leg. Others will need to get staked with guy cables or held up with additional supports up until they can re-develop the root system they need to have to stand on their own.
If a storm has caused trees to fall on buildings, our tree contractors can be trusted to get rid of the broken trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the building and construction crews easy access to the building to begin restorations on the damaged properties and power cables.

Various Sorts Of Storm Damage
Each one of these sorts of damage results in a distinct diagnosis for the trees’ potential survival, but forming a prognosis is a task ideally left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more liable to miss a small detail that may well separate one verdict from another, such as finding the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which indicates that the roots also snapped.
There are generally 6 sorts of storm damage which a tree can’t usually sustain:
- Blowovers – this is where the entire tree falls down.
- Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the ground, causing the crown to come down or to angle strongly whilst the lower section stays standing normally.
- Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree tear beneath the ground, leading to the tree pitching or swaying considerably.
- Branch Failures – is where several branches of the tree fall off.
- Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to split, but stays standing. This occurs most commonly on trees with extremely unbalanced crowns. The entire crown ultimately transforms into a weather vane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can’t.
- Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a lot of secondary effects including 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 considerably greater risk to drop despite the fact that it endured the original windstorm.
