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

Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Even though they’re generally taken as being strong and permanent, trees can easily become defenceless in adverse weather conditions like strong winds & storms. Powerful storms and very high winds have been seen to annihilate trees and uplift even the healthiest & sturdiest trees from the ground, sending them smashing to the ground, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times following a storm have you heard about storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the danger & inconvenience it additionally can result in costly repair work.

The toughest option following a windstorm is not specifically how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is fairly straightforward. The more difficult possibility is whether or not any of the trees still standing are salvageable.

Some trees that have been partly damaged in the storm may pose a future threat and may need to be chopped down and removed to prevent putting people & property at risk in several months or years in the future.

Some other trees could be conserved by being pruned back, with their worst cracked parts being ‘severed’ exactly like how an operating surgeon would remove a gangrenous leg. Some other may require to be staked down with guy wires or supported with additional supports up until they are able to re-develop the root structure they need to stand on their own.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each one of these sorts of damage creates a different diagnosis for the trees’ potential survival, however making a diagnosis is a job ideally entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more likely to miss a small detail that could differentiate one conclusion from another, such as finding the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which reveals that the roots also failed.

There are basically 6 sorts of storm damage which a tree can’t usually stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the full tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the earth, leading to the trees crown to fall or to angle violently whilst the bottom part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree snap under the earth, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying noticeably.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to splinter, but stays up. This takes place most typically on trees with highly lopsided crowns. The full crown ultimately ends up being a weathervane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening hits have a lot of additional effects including massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a tree hit by lightening is always at a very much higher risk to drop even though it endured the original storm.
