Taking Care Of Trees Damaged In A Storm
{}Despite the fact they are often taken as being really sturdy and eternal, trees can come to be vulnerable in extreme weather conditions like strong winds and storms. Violent storms and high winds have been seen to wipe out trees and tear even the healthiest & sturdiest trees from the soil, sending them plunging to the earth, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.
How many times soon after a storm have you heard about storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the inconvenience & danger it also may lead to expensive repair work.
The most difficult decision following a storm isn’t specifically how to get rid of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty much straightforward. The more challenging choice is whether or not any of the trees left standing are salvageable.
Some trees that have been in part harmed in the storm may present a future risk and might need to be cut down and removed to prevent putting people and property at risk in several months or even years in the future.
Other trees maybe preserved by being pruned back, with their most cracked parts being ‘amputated’ much like how an operating surgeon might remove a gangrenous leg. Others will need to get staked down with guy ropes or held up with additional supports up until they are able to re-develop the root structure they have to have to stand on their own.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage
All of these sorts of problem results in a distinct diagnosis for the trees’ long term survival, but making a diagnosis is a task ideally entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more likely to overlook a small detail that might just separate one decision from another, such as seeing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which signifies that the roots also failed.
There are basically 6 types of storm damage which a tree can’t typically stand up to:
- Blowovers – this is where the full tree comes down.
- Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the ground, making the crown to come down or lean violently even though the bottom part continues to be standing normally.
- Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree snap underneath the ground, resulting in the tree bending or swinging considerably.
- Branch Failures – is where several limbs of the tree break off.
- Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns enough to splinter, but stays standing. This occurs most commonly on trees with very lopsided crowns. The full crown effectively transforms into a weathervane 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 number of 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 typically at a substantially increased danger to fall despite the fact that it got through the original storm.
