If you have and fallen trees or any damaged trees from a storm or lightning, you should call a qualified tree surgeon.

Handling Trees Damaged In A Storm

Despite the fact they’re often taken as being durable and eternal, trees can easily become at risk in extreme weather such as strong winds and storms. Fierce storms and extreme winds have been seen to wipe out trees and uplift even the sturdiest & healthiest trees out of the soil, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times soon after strong winds have you heard about dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the danger and inconvenience it additionally can result in expensive renovations.

The most difficult option following a storm isn’t specifically how to get rid of the trees that are definitely down, that’s fairly simple. The more difficult decision is whether some of the trees still upright can be saved.

Various trees that have been in part harmed in the windstorm may present a future threat and may well need to be chopped down and took out to avoid putting property & people at risk in many months or years in the future.

Other trees can be preserved by being trimmed back, with their worst affected parts being ‘amputated’ just like how a surgeon would take off a gangrenous limb. Some other will need to be staked with guy ropes or held up with other supports up until they are able to re-develop the root system they require to stand on their own.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each of these kinds of problem creates a varied outlook for the trees’ potential survival, however forming a prognosis is a job ideally entrusted to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more likely to fail to notice a small detail that might just differentiate one decision from another, such as noticing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean which indicates that the roots also snapped.

There are basically 6 sorts of storm damage which a tree can not typically stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the entire tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the earth, resulting in the trees crown to fall or angle strongly while the lower section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree snap below the earth, leading to the tree bending or swaying considerably.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to splinter, but stays standing. This takes place most typically on trees with very unbalanced crowns. The entire crown effectively transforms into a weathervane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can not.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening strikes have a many 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 considerably greater danger to drop even if it got through the original windstorm.
