Tree surgeons are highly skilled and have the experience to properly remove any tree damage.

Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Although they’re generally taken as being sturdy and everlasting, trees can certainly come to be defenceless in adverse weather like storms & strong winds. Intense storms and extreme winds have been seen to annihilate trees and rip even the sturdiest & healthiest trees out of the soil, sending them crashing to the earth, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times following strong winds have you heard of storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. In addition to the inconvenience and danger it additionally will lead to costly restorations.

The most difficult option after a storm isn’t how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty easy. The harder choice is if any of the trees still standing are salvageable.

Various trees that have been partly injured in the windstorm may well pose a future hazard and might need to be cut down and removed to prevent putting property and people in danger in several months or years to come.

Other trees could be conserved by being pruned back, with their worst affected sections being ‘amputated’ similar to how an operating surgeon might take off a gangrenous leg. Others may require to get staked down with guy ropes or held up with various other supports until they are able to re-develop the root system they need to stand on their own.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

Every one of these types of damage results in a varied diagnosis for the trees’ long term survival, however making a diagnosis is a task ideally left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more going to disregard a small detail that could differentiate one conclusion from another, like observing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that indicates that the roots also failed.

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

• Blowovers – this is where the complete tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the earth, making the trees crown to fall or angle violently whilst the lower part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree split below the earth, leading to the tree leaning or swaying considerably.
• Branch Failures – is where several branches of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays standing. This happens most commonly on trees with extremely disproportionate crowns. The complete crown effectively transforms into a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening strikes have a several additional effects like opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a lightening-hit tree is always at a much greater risk to drop even though it got through the original windstorm.
