Various Types Of Storm Damage

There are essentially six sorts of storm damage which a tree can’t generally sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the full tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the earth, resulting in the trees crown to fall or to lean strongly whilst the lower part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree tear below the earth, leading to the tree leaning or swinging dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where several limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to split, but stays standing. This happens most frequently on trees with extremely lopsided crowns. The full crown essentially turns into a weathervane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can not.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening hits have a lot of additional 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 very much greater danger to drop even though it got through the original windstorm.
