Taking Care Of Trees Damaged In A Storm

Even though they are typically seen as being strong and eternal, trees can easily become at risk in extreme weather conditions such as storms & strong winds. Fierce storms and extreme winds have been known to decimate trees and tear even the healthiest and sturdiest trees from the soil, sending them plunging to the earth, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times shortly after strong winds have you heard about dislodged branches and storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the danger and inconvenience it additionally will cause expensive restorations.

The hardest decision after a storm is not specifically how to dispose of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty much straightforward. The more challenging decision is whether or not any of the trees left standing can be saved.

Certain trees that have been moderately affected in the windstorm can present a future hazard and might need to be cut down and took out to avoid putting people and property in danger in many months or even years in the future.

Other trees might be saved by being pruned back, with their most affected sections being ‘cut off’ much like how an operating surgeon will amputate a gangrenous leg. Others may need to get staked down with guy cables or supported with additional supports up until they are able to re-develop the root system they need to have to stand on their own.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

Each of these types of damage leads to a varied prognosis for the trees’ potential survival, however making a diagnosis is a job ideally left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more likely to disregard a small detail that can differentiate one verdict from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that shows that the roots also snapped.

There are basically 6 types of storm damage that a tree can not usually sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the entire tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the earth, causing the crown to come down or to bend strongly even though the bottom part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree split under the earth, leading to the tree pitching or swinging dramatically.
• Branch Failures – is where several limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to splinter, but stays standing. This takes place most typically on trees with extremely disproportionate crowns. The entire crown essentially ends up being a weathervane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind in a way that the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening hits have a several additional effects including opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a lightening-hit tree is typically at a substantially greater risk to drop even if it endured the initial windstorm.
