Taking Care Of Trees Damaged In A Storm

Tree Surgeon Watford

Despite the fact they are generally taken as being really solid and everlasting, trees can easily come to be at risk in adverse weather conditions such as storms and strong winds. Intense storms and high winds have been seen to wipe out trees and uplift even the healthiest and sturdiest trees from the soil, sending them crashing to the earth, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times following a storm have you heard about dislodged branches and storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. In addition to the danger & inconvenience it also will cause costly repair work.

The toughest decision following a windstorm is not how to deal with the trees that are definitely down, that’s pretty straightforward. The more difficult choice is if any of the trees still standing can be saved.

Some trees that have been partially injured in the windstorm might pose a potential future hazard and might have to be cut down and took away to avoid putting people & property in danger in several months or years ahead.

Other trees might be preserved by being pruned back, with their most injured sections being ‘amputated’ just like how an operating surgeon will amputate a gangrenous limb. Others will need to be staked down with guy ropes or supported with additional supports up until they can re-develop the root structure they need to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on premises, our tree specialists can be relied upon to clear away the injured trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the building and construction teams easy access to the property to begin restorations on the affected properties and power cables.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

Tree Pruning Moor ParkEach one of these sorts of damage causes a different prognosis for the trees’ future survival, however forming a diagnosis is a task best left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more going to disregard a small detail that could separate one verdict from another, such as noticing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which shows that the roots also snapped.

There are essentially 6 forms of storm damage which a tree can’t typically sustain:

  • Blowovers – these are where the whole tree is uprooted.
  • Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the soil, causing the crown to come down or to lean violently even though the bottom section remains standing normally.
  • Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree break beneath the soil, leading to the tree bending or swinging dramatically.
  • Branch Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree detach.
  • Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to splinter, but stays standing. This happens most often on trees with highly disproportionate crowns. The whole crown essentially turns into a weathervane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind in a way that the trunk is unable to.
  • Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a many secondary effects like massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a tree hit by lightening is always at a considerably greater risk to fall even though it survived the original windstorm.
