Untrained individuals should not attempt to deal with a fallen tree as there are many objects that could be trapped underneath or around the tree, as well as any live power lines. Tree surgeons have years of experience and can safely remove any storm damaged trees.

Handling Storm Damaged Trees

Although they are typically considered as being sturdy and everlasting, trees can certainly become at risk in adverse weather conditions such as storms and strong winds. Violent storms and strong winds have been known to decimate trees and uplift even the healthiest & sturdiest trees from the ground, sending them crashing to the earth, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times soon after a storm have you heard of storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. In addition to the inconvenience & danger it additionally will lead to expensive repair work.

The hardest option after a windstorm isn’t how to deal with the trees that are definitely down, that’s pretty simple. The harder choice is whether or not some of the trees remaining standing can be saved.

Various trees that have been moderately harmed in the storm may present a possible future threat and might have to be disassembled and disposed of to avoid putting property & people at risk in months or years to come.

Some other trees could be conserved by being trimmed back, with their most damaged sections being ‘severed’ much like how a surgeon will amputate a gangrenous limb. Others will require to be staked down with guy cables or supported with various other supports until they are able to re-develop the root system they need to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree specialists can be trusted to take away the injured trees safely, quickly and efficiently to allow the building teams access to the building to start repairs on the affected buildings and power cables.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

Every one of these kinds of problem causes a varied prognosis for the trees’ future survival, however making a prognosis is a job best left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more going to disregard a small detail that can separate one decision from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that suggests that the roots also failed.

There are essentially six types of storm damage that a tree can not normally endure:

• Blowovers – this is where the full tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the ground, causing the crown to fall or to lean strongly while the bottom section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree tear under the ground, resulting in the tree leaning or swaying noticeably.
• Branch Failures – is where several limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays up. This takes place most frequently on trees with very unbalanced crowns. The full crown basically ends up being a weather vane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a many secondary effects like 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 very much increased risk to fall despite the fact that it survived the original storm.
