Taking Care Of Trees Damaged In A Storm
Despite the fact they are generally considered as being solid and everlasting, trees can come to be vulnerable in adverse weather such as storms and strong winds. Violent storms and high winds have been seen to decimate 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 and inconvenience it also may result in costly renovations.
The toughest decision after a storm is not how to deal with the trees that are definitely down, that’s pretty much simple. The more difficult decision is whether or not any of the trees still standing are salvageable.
Some trees that have been in part harmed in the storm can pose a future hazard and may have to be disassembled and took away to avoid putting people & property in danger in several months or even years ahead.
Other trees could be conserved by being pruned back, with their most cracked sections being ‘severed’ exactly like how an operating surgeon will amputate a gangrenous limb. Others will require to be staked down with guy cables or held up with additional supports until they are able to re-develop the root structure they need to stand on their own.

Various Types Of Storm Damage
Each one of these sorts of problem causes a different prognosis for the trees’ future survival, however making a diagnosis is a job best left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more likely to disregard a small detail that may well separate one verdict from another, such as noticing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which shows that the roots also snapped.
There are generally 6 forms of storm damage which a tree can’t usually stand up to:
- Blowovers – these are where the whole tree is uprooted.
- Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the ground, leading to the crown to come down or to bend violently even though the bottom part remains standing normally.
- Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree break below the ground, leading to the tree leaning or swinging considerably.
- Branch Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree detach.
- Crown Twists – is where 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 weather vane in a storm, turning 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, for now. Lightening hits have a many secondary effects like opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a tree hit by lightening is typically at a much increased risk to drop even though it made it through the initial storm.
