Handling Trees Damaged In A Storm

Though they are usually taken as being strong and everlasting, trees can certainly become at risk in adverse weather such as strong winds and storms. Intense storms and extreme winds have been seen to decimate trees and uplift even the healthiest and sturdiest trees out of the soil, sending them crashing to the earth, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times following a storm have you heard of dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. In addition to the inconvenience & danger it additionally can lead to expensive repairs.

The hardest decision after a storm isn’t how to deal with the trees that are definitely down, that’s pretty much easy. The more challenging possibility is whether some of the trees remaining upright can be saved.

Some trees that have been partially injured in the storm might present a potential threat and might need to be cut down and disposed of to prevent putting people and property in danger in many months or even years in the future.

Some other trees might be saved by being pruned back, with their worst cracked sections being ‘cut off’ similar to how a surgeon may remove a gangrenous leg. Some other will need to be staked down with guy wires or held up with additional supports up until they are able to re-develop the root system they need to stand on their own.

Various Kinds Of Storm Damage

All of these types of damage causes a varied outlook for the trees’ long term survival, but making a diagnosis is a job best left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more likely to miss a small detail that may separate one conclusion from another, such as seeing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that signifies that the roots also failed.

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

• Blowovers – these are where the complete tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the earth, making the crown to fall or to lean violently while the lower section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree snap beneath the earth, leading to the tree pitching or swaying significantly.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays standing. This takes place most typically on trees with extremely unbalanced crowns. The complete crown ultimately becomes a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening hits have a number 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 always at a much higher danger to fall even if it made it through the original storm.
