Managing Storm Damaged Trees
Despite the fact 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 may cause expensive repairs.
The toughest decision following a windstorm is not how to deal with 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 are salvageable.
Certain trees that have been partially harmed in the windstorm can present a potential future hazard and may have to be disassembled and disposed of 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 most cracked sections being ‘amputated’ exactly like how an operating surgeon might amputate a gangrenous leg. Others may need to be staked with guy cables or held up with additional supports 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 liable to disregard a small detail that could 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 – this is where the entire tree comes down.
- Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the soil, leading to the trees crown to fall or to angle strongly even though the lower part remains standing normally.
- Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree snap beneath the soil, leading to the tree pitching or swinging considerably.
- Branch Failures – is where several limbs of the tree break 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 additional 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.
