Managing Storm Damaged Trees
Despite the fact that they are usually taken as being really solid and eternal, trees can certainly come to be vulnerable in adverse weather such as strong winds and storms. Fierce storms and extreme winds have been known to wipe out trees and tear even the sturdiest and healthiest 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 of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the inconvenience & danger it also will cause expensive repairs.
The most difficult decision following a windstorm is not how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that’s more or less simple. The harder possibility is whether or not some of the trees remaining upright can be saved.
Certain trees that have been partially harmed in the windstorm can present a potential hazard and may have to be disassembled and took out to prevent putting people and property at risk in several months or even years to come.
Some other trees maybe conserved by being pruned back, with their worst cracked sections being ‘amputated’ exactly like how an operating surgeon might amputate a gangrenous leg. Others might need to be staked with guy wires or held up with additional supports up until they can re-develop the root structure they have to have to stand on their own.
If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on buildings, our tree specialists can be trusted to clear away the injured trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the building crews easy access to the property to begin maintenance and repairs on the affected buildings and power cables.

Various Sorts Of Storm Damage
Each one of these kinds of damage results in a varied prognosis for the trees’ potential survival, however making a diagnosis is a task best entrusted to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more going to disregard a small detail that may well differentiate one decision from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which reveals that the roots also failed.
There are generally 6 kinds of storm damage which a tree can’t normally endure:
- Blowovers – these are where the entire tree comes down.
- Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the soil, making the trees crown to fall or to angle violently even though the lower part remains standing normally.
- Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree snap beneath the soil, leading to the tree pitching or swinging noticeably.
- Branch Failures – is where several limbs of the tree fall off.
- Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays up. This happens most commonly on trees with extremely unbalanced crowns. The entire crown effectively ends up being a weather vane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk is unable to.
- Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening strikes have a lot of secondary effects such as 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 considerably higher danger to drop even if it got through the initial windstorm.
