Storm Damage Tree Removal

If you have and fallen trees or any damaged trees from a storm or lightning, you should call a qualified tree surgeon. It is very dangerous for non-trained people to try and deal with a fallen tree, as there are many objects that could be trapped underneath or around the tree, as well as any live power lines. Tree surgeons have years of experience and can safely remove any storm damaged trees.

Taking Care Of Trees Damaged In A Storm

Despite the fact that they are often viewed as being durable and timeless, trees can certainly become vulnerable in adverse weather such as storms and strong winds. Intense storms and high winds have been seen to annihilate trees and tear even the healthiest and sturdiest trees from the ground, sending them smashing to the earth, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times shortly after a storm have you heard of dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. Apart from the inconvenience and danger it also may lead to costly renovations.

The most difficult option following a windstorm is not specifically how to dispose of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is more or less simple. The tougher decision is whether or not any of the trees remaining upright can be saved.

Certain trees that have been in part affected in the storm can pose a future hazard and may have to be chopped down and took out to avoid placing people and property at risk in months or even years ahead.

Other trees can be conserved by being trimmed back, with their worst cracked parts being ‘amputated’ much like how an operating surgeon might remove a gangrenous leg. Some other might require to be staked with guy ropes or supported with other supports until they can re-develop the root system they need to have to stand on their own.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

All of these sorts of damage causes a varied diagnosis for the trees’ future survival, however forming a diagnosis is a job best entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more liable to miss a small detail that might just differentiate one conclusion from another, such as finding the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which suggests that the roots also failed.

There are generally 6 forms of storm damage which a tree can’t normally stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the complete tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the earth, resulting in the trees crown to come down or angle strongly even though the bottom section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree crack underneath the earth, resulting in the tree bending or swaying noticeably.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to split, but stays up. This occurs most frequently on trees with highly disproportionate crowns. The complete crown effectively becomes a weather vane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening strikes have a number of additional effects like opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a tree hit by lightening is always at a considerably greater risk to fall even if it made it through the initial storm.
